Richman, a senior joint concentrator in music and visual and environmental studies, showcases the Sardinian folk sound. Sung only by men of the town of Bitti, the music is a mixture of throaty and nasal sounds. “It is quite possibly the oldest type of polyphony,” says Richman, who was introduced to the music and was then able to research it directly in Italy through a Radcliffe research grant...
Last Friday, The Harvard Crimson convened six panelists to discuss the space crunch affecting the arts community at Harvard, and to discuss their long-term visions of an ideal artistic space for Harvard’s actors, dancers, musicians and visual artists.

I’m finding that younger generations are really less interested in traditional forms and more interested in hybrid forms, where music and dance and theater and visual arts collide in interesting ways. To have an environment in which all of these groups are isolated from one another would be unfortunate. I often talk about an ideal space that could function as a dance space, as a theater space, as a space for installations, as a soundstage...
