...shuffle their young children along, filling their hands with glass bobbles and Carnival masks. They eat gelato and large margarita pizzas; they wait an hour in line to see the Doge’s palace and listen to one of the many tuxedoed string quartets in San Marco play Vivaldi (though they prefer it when the quartets strike up The Sound of Music). They say they have seen and done Venice and, in a sense, they would be correct...

...violinists were Shiyu Wei ’10 and Shuang Wu ’11, and their concert was a part of the ongoing Student Music Performance Series, organized by the Harvard Arts Museums Education Department.

With upcoming performances at 3:30 p.m. every Friday—except during Spring Break?...
...future as a musician and as a scientist. Koh will open his performances in Arts First festival with Bach’s sixth suite, from which he played as a freshman in the commencement ceremony of 2006. He will play two double-concertos, one by Bach and one by Vivaldi. Joined by pianist Nora I. Bartosik ’08, he will close his four-show run with Beethoven’s first sonata, the piece that made him start playing cello. And after how far he has come, how fitting is it that he return to his beginnings...
