...loud, full strings and strong, persistent percussion in the movement named for Mars, the “Bringer of War,” the orchestra confidently strode on through the remaining six movements. The orchestra’s wide array of sounds and tempos successfully revealed each of the movement??s disparate roles. In the movement of Venus, the “Bringer of Peace,” we heard a gentle, calming sound complete with harps and celesta. In Jupiter, the “Bringer of Jollity,” shimmering sounds glittered with high-pitches...

Where Goto’s violin used to be light, melancholy began to weigh down on the instrument.In the third movement??Allegro spirituoso—Goto leaped back into his element, holding the audience on edge with every twist of the bow.

Last year, a group of Harvard undergraduates took part in a Student Labor Action Movement (SLAM) hunger strike to protest the low wages Harvard independent contractor Allied Barton was paying campus security guards. There were some flaws with the movement??most notably, it seems a bit hard to justify forgoing food over objection to a slight difference in wages. But at least SLAM’s cause was concrete. In the case of this latest cause, the T-shirts are just about talking. If those sporting tees are interested in real change, they ought to find more effective...
