1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Jill DeGroot (MA 2020, New Arts Journalism) wanted to be a marine — well, she wanted to play flute in the U.S. Marine Corps band. Early in her life, playing flute gave Jill sense of fulfillment, which gave rise to a passion and competitiveness for the instrument in and out of school band. For many years, Jill considered the flute her &quot;calling,&quot; but while studying flute at DePaul University, disillusionment set in. The last few years have seen Jill shift from traditional classical music to the ultra-contemporary New Discipline, and also to journalism, which she uses to commemorate ephemeral concert experiences. Jill's story suggests that a &quot;calling&quot; has as much to do with what life wants from you as what you want from life. Featuring &quot;Throw Me To You And Back Again&quot; by Jesse Marino, performed by Riley Leitch and Jill DeGroot. Audio courtesy of the artists.
