WPRB: My favorite radio station
A 20-year-old classical music DJ on Princeton’s WPRB epitomizes this remarkable radio station.
Orchestra's "Symphony of a Thousand' (1st review)
It’s time for someone to point out that the emperor has no clothes. Mahler’s massive and much-hyped Symphony of a Thousand is no masterpiece. There's a difference between magnitude and beauty.
Philadelphia Orchestra: Mahler, Symphony of a Thousand (Eighth Symphony in E-Flat major). May 1-3, 2008 at Verizon Hall, Kimmel Center. (215) 893-1900 or www.philorch.org.

Curtis Orchestra with Leon Fleisher
Hindemith’s long-lost Klaviermusik mit Orchester was the centerpiece of a program that showed off the Curtis Symphony Orchestra to fine effect. Octogenarian soloist Leon Fleisher, himself long limited to the left hand repertory, made robust music with musicians a quarter his age.
Curtis Symphony Orchestra: Hindemith, Schuller, Dvorak. April 27, 2008 at Verizon Hall, Kimmel Center. Leon Fleisher, piano; Christoph Eschenbach, conductor. (215) 893-7902 or

The last generation of Japanese to wear the kimono as an everyday garment sent the custom out with a bang, and with surprising Western influences as well.

Orchestra plays Sibelius and Bruckner
Christoph Eschenbach moved closer to the end of his abbreviated stay with the Philadelphia Orchestra in a program of Sibelius and Bruckner that demonstrated, particularly in the Bruckner, why he should be staying instead of leaving.

Senior show at West Chester U.
West Chester University’s Senior Art Exhibition fits neatly into the pattern of most student art shows: some spectacularly bad work, a wide median of adequate work and a few flashes of brilliance. And who is teaching these students?
Senior Art Exhibition. Through May 9, 2008 at McKinney & Long Galleries, Mitchell Hall, West Chester University, West Chester, Pa. (610) 436-1000 or www.wcupa.edu.

Rebecca Davis's "Darfur'
Rebecca Davis’s Darfur approaches a holocaust from two perspectives: the true story of Brian Steidle, a UN observer in the Sudan, and the fictitious tale of a young African boy caught up in the same events. One story is factual, but the other is dramatic. Davis clearly possesses brilliant instincts; if only she had trusted them in conveying Steidle’s story as well as the African family’s.
