Seven trombone players, seven interpretive dancers, four cubes (each with sides of exactly seven feet, of course), and a Harvard graduate all stand in a room together. Salvador Dali couldn’t have thought of a situation more sublimely absurd. But those very ingredients formed the basis of “7x7x7x7x7,” a modern dance piece choreographed by Ryuji Yamaguchi ’03 and performed in New York City early last month.

Eight-year-old Jason Rose, the younger brother of Evan M. Rose ’09, stole the show at intermission with his impromptu break-dancing...
...such a degree that they forgot their concert etiquette and committed the apparent faux pas of applauding (with a standing ovation, no less) after the first movement. This warm response was a prelude to their reception to the piece as a whole, as the audience leapt to their feet at the last chord of the concerto...
