'George:' A moving portrait of two artists

"Sunday in the Park with George," presented yesterday in Center Theater by Circa '21 productions, is a moving look into the lives of two artists and the various conflicts that love and art create in their lives. Loosely based on the life of the great 19th century painter Georges Seurat, "Sunday in the Park with George" depicts the life and painting of George, a passionate and unconventional artist in Paris in the late nineteenth century.

Harvard violinist gives concert

Solo violinist Scott Yoo, with flagellating horse hair disengaged by his ferocious bowing, provided an exciting and extremely entertaining performance in Spaulding Auditorium last night. A physics major at Harvard, Yoo won the Young Concert Artists International competition at 17 and has appeared as a soloist with orchestras including Boston Symphony, Modesto and Pasadena Symphonies in California, the Reno Chamber Orchestra and the Virginia Symphony. Yoo has soloed abroad with the Korean Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra in Seoul, the Maracaibo Orchestra and the Orquesta Sinfonica in Venezuela as well as in the Dominican Republic. Yoo, accompanied by Max Levinson on piano, began the program with classic repertoire of Bach and Beethoven Sonati, continued with Saint-Saens and Bazzini in the second half and topped off the performance with an encore transcription of Scott Joplin. Levinson, a junior at Harvard and himself an accomplished solo pianist, performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the age of thirteen and has since performed as soloist, recitalist and chamber musician in New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and Houston. Yoo and Levinson worked very well together, combining the attributes of the piano and violin in an interplay of melody and harmony, which produced an impressive and appealing musical presentation. Yoo and Levinson rendered a very sensitive performance of the Beethoven Sonata No.
