...cabdrivers, but Placido Domingo lucked out when he left his briefcase in the back of a Gotham taxi. Driver Kobina Wood turned in the case, which contained family pictures, copies of the prayers Domingo says before each performance and the score of the show he's currently performing. The tenor sent the cabby tickets. Another opera fan is born...
...Tenor saxophonist and recording artist Don Braden '85, also a Jazz Band alum, performed three tunes, including an arrangement commissioned by the OFA entitled "Landing Zone" and an arrangement of the Hank Mobley tune "Soul Station." The latter, which will appear on Braden's upcoming release for RCA/Victor entitled The Voice of the Saxophone, was performed by an all-Harvard Jazz Band Alumni 13-person "Octet."

...singers' fault--at least not musically. In the usual Lowell House tradition, most of the soloists are recruited from the New England Conservatory, classical music and choral groups around town, and the Boston Conservatory. Saturday night's cast was superb, particularly tenor Richard Munroe (the duke of Mantua, to be played by Thomas Oesterling next week) and soprano Kaja Kjestine Schuppert (Gilda...
