Fort Pierce - Friday January 19, 2024: This week on In Focus, with IRSC Public Media, the 9th Annual Chimpathon at the Save the Chimps Sanctuary here in Fort Pierce.

Save the Chimps Ex Dir Ana Paula Tavares joins us, along with Race Director Brandon Rinchack.

It happens Saturday February 17 and registration is still open for the 10k, 5k and 2.5k runs, but as Ana Paula and Brandon tell us, the event is about a lot more than a race.

Then the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center comes to Vero Beach, featuring four renowned chamber music artists, two of whom are with us, David Finckel and Wu Han, husband and wife.
