The Mothership is taking flight once again! This sci-fi micro fiction event is inspired by sci-fi magazine editor George Hay. In the 1970s, Hay asked authors—including Arthur C. Clarke, the namesake of UC San Diego’s Clarke Center—to submit short stories that would fit on a postcard. Likewise, Short Tales from the Mothership invites participants to submit short stories inspired by UC San Diego’s iconic Geisel Library, designed by the much-admired architect William Pereira. To participate, send a sci-fi, fantasy or horror story with 250 words or fewer to Scott Paulson (spaulson@ucsd.edu) by October 10, 2022. At the event, you will have the opportunity to read your entry or have your work read aloud for you. Contact: Scott Paulson spaulson@ucsd.edu Follow on Socials! Facebook & Instagram

Featuring the Bach Double Concerto arranged for Soprano Violin. The Hutchins Consort plays on the eight scaled violins of the violin octet designed and built by famed luthier Dr. Carleen Hutchins. The instruments are the first successful attempt to create an acoustically balanced set of instruments that can sound truly like violins across the entire range of written music. With instruments ranging from the tiny treble violin, tuned one octave above the standard violin, to the gigantic large bass violin, tuned one octave lower than a 'cello, the Hutchins Consort produces an astonishing palette of sounds.
