...phone buzzed, notifying me of e-mail. Thank goodness I did, for what I discovered as I willed my eyes open around 3:15 a.m. was an urgent message from the Harvard College Democrats. In an email sent by Samuel B. Novey ’11, the student group??s Communication Director, the Harvard Dems called on its rival organization, the Harvard Republicans Club (HRC), to denounce the tactics of Republican heavyweight Karl Rove, who was set to speak at the College the next afternoon...

The ensemble’s continued internal communication allowed them to stay in sync for the entire piece. In the second and third movements, the group??s sound was occasionally muddled, and lacked the transparency it had in “Gilded Glass.” After a brief pause, the group played Dvorak’s “Serenade for Strings.” The program was well-designed, as the more...
