...second concert of its bicentennial season, the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra (HRO) delivered another strong performance under the baton of Dr. James Yannatos. The concert featured one of the most memorable solo performances of the year: soloist Bong Ihn Koh ’08, Harvard’s internationally renowned cellist, in his first appearance as part of the orchestra...
...then came the main event. Antonin Dvorak’s “Cello Concerto in B minor,” featuring Koh’s solo performance, was undoubtedly the highlight of the evening.

...personality: one dancer exuded confidence, gazing directly at the audience, while another expertly portrayed both loneliness and distress. Most remarkable was the piece in which three dancers created a single moving entity by letting their three bodies constantly touch and overlap, a marked contrast with the preceding solo dances. Like “A Time Upon Once,” “Fractured” also began and ended with variations of the same image. The dance started without accompanying music as the entire cast of sophomore dancers faced the audience, stamping and thrusting their arms upwards. Although...
