...program of Beethoven warhorses will feature the familiar/familial Harvard trio of Richard Kogan '77, piano; Lynn Chang, 75, violin; and Yo-Yo Ma '76, cello, on Friday night in Sanders. This weekend may be an endurance test for Ma who will perform three times in four days. Not that he sours with fatigue, but chances are that you will catch him at his freshest on Friday evening...

Two weeks from next Wednesday, Yo Yo Ma will be sitting in Memorial Hall, writing an exam for Social Sciences 4, "Film and Anthropology," in the company of a few dozen of his classmates. On the other hand, last Sunday he was in Carnegie Hall, playing in a Brahms sextet before an audience of two thousand.
