Harvard has never been a paradise for rock and roll. Look at any bulletin board: around here, cellos are preferable to guitars, bhangra has a greater following than any one campus band, and a cappella concerts fill Sanders Theatre on a regular basis.Is this because we, as a student body, possess an innate inability to rock out? Or is there some precondition for rock missing that, if present, would reverse the bulldozers’ direction and convert Harvard into an extension of rock-friendly Allston?Intuition makes the former seem unlikely, as Harvard has produced its fair share of successful...

More than a month before the concert, in mid-September, Summers told HRO leaders that he would not participate in the Oct. 29 event. The orchestra’s season premiere falls on the second...
...piano-types. Of course, the HPS is more than a musical dating service. It provides pianists with resources (such as the names of piano teachers and possible duet partners) and invites a variety of accomplished guests to give lectures and master classes. Saturday night’s Fall Concert performance impressively kicked off the season for the piano society. While the concert featured a range of musical styles, it all had an air of professionalism. Each performer had a mature stage presence, acknowledging and enticing the entire audience. For example, Peter T. D’Elia...
