April 23, 2012 – This Wednesday, Christyana Cabal attended Music at the Med, a concert series presented by the UCLA Health System and the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music. Performed at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center by UCLA’s own music students, the concerts share familiar and beloved pieces with patients and their families. In the midst of white walls and medicine, the music temporarily transports its audience away from the hospital setting and into a world of ease and enjoyment. Cabal spoke with Hillary Smith, a graduate student in the cello and Ambroise Aubrun, a doctoral student in the violin from UCLA’s LaMi String Quartet. They share their experiences of playing music in a hospital setting.
