Keeping with something of a tradition, the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra has a big-name guest solist, cellist Janos Starker. Though Vivaldi concerti are not everyone's favorite, the Dvorak should be an exciting piece; and the inclusion of Stravinsky's Petrushka was a good choice.

So far, he has applied his treatment to 50 string instruments, including the Stradivari played by Chicago Symphony Associate Concertmaster Victor Aitay, who says it has made a "tremendous difference."
