Marks ’11) delivered a nuanced solo, and the orchestra maneuvered quick changes from quick rhythmic jabs to charming, almost sarcastic melodic sections.

Later, the mood changed to a spooky, swaying sound from the strings, punctuated by elegant solos from the harpist (Krysten A. Keches ’10) and principal first violinist (Aaron T. Kuan ’09).
