Knights are rare enough these days, but add the labels of composer, musician, and conductor to that honor and the combination becomes practically unheard of. But Sir André Previn, who was knighted by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1996, has just these distinctions. As a guest at Harvard this past Monday, Previn shared personal insights about music as well as anecdotes and advice with the community in an intimate setting.A crowd of approximately 80 people gathered in the Kirkland Junior Common Room for a master class with Previn as part of the Learning From Performers series sponsored...
