...This Sunday, the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra and the Boston Chamber Music Society will both perform in Sanders Theatre. Eighteen-year-old violinist Caitlin Tully will solo for the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Benjamin Zander, in an afternoon performance of Shostakovich’s “First Violin Concerto.” According to Tully’s website, Yehudi Menuhin, one of the foremost violinists of the 20th century, said of the performer at age 10 that “she plays with more integrity than any young violinist I have ever heard.” The program...
...Jackiw ’07 at Friday night’s Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra (HRO) Pre-frosh Weekend concert. A raucous crowd refused to sit down until after Jackiw had returned to the stage three additional times after his performance of Johannes Brahms’s “Violin Concerto.”Led by HRO conductor Dr. James Yannatos, Harvard’s orchestra proved a fine match for Jackiw, executing a moving performance of the “Prelude and Liebestod” from Richard Wagner’s “Tristan und Isolde?...
...truly engage their roles as social outcasts. This number alone entirely compensates for the cast’s lack of energy in preceding scenes.

He tries to capture "human ideas and human failings," he says--and casually uses words like "destitute" when talking about his themes. "I love albums," he says, because he feels they represent...
...shaky ensemble work at their March 17 performance, the company looked the most stylistically comfortable and vehemently committed in Jorma Elo’s “Plan to B.” Lit by a large side panel of bright white and set to rather restrained 17th-century violin music by Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber, the movement is rigorously athletic and ultra-contemporary, with flamboyant leaps that corkscrew in the air and hyperextended limbs thrown in all directions. Jazzy inflections color brilliant shifts in dynamic and direction, imbuing the whole piece with a kind of exuberant nervous energy...
