Stefan P. Jackiw ’07, a Music concentrator and Artist Diploma candidate at the New England Conservatory, is an internationally renowned violin soloist, having performed with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra in London, and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, among others. A Boston native, Jackiw will be performing this week with the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Benjamin Zander, whom Jackiw has known since he was 16. Focusing on classical performance, Jackiw has played the violin since he was a child. 'I started when I was four...
...publicist, among others. After a few minutes of tentative English, he warms up to his subject. "I think it's a very important moment," he says of the coming Verdi Requiem - his coronation at the SSO - which unites 70 members of the Rome Opera chorus with the Sydney Philharmonia Choirs. As a musical marriage of "the eternal city of Rome and the city of the future, it's very symbolic," he adds. "It's very important, this moment."

The orchestra will also play during the movie in London, Paris, Tokyo and, on New Year's Eve, Pasadena, Calif. Then, for four months, the film will be shown only on the gigantic screens in 75 IMAX theaters. (Our advice to moviegoers: sit in the back!) And to camouflage a high-art stigma, F2K employs genial onscreen hosts: Bette...
...they await cues, tempos, phrasing instructions and a host of interpretative intangibles from the guy who's waving a baton at them. If Kaplan at Salzburg did not bring to mind a slick stick like Riccardo Muti or Valery Gergiev, his intense, attentive manner in front of the Philharmonia, the Vienna State Opera Chorus, mezzo-soprano Doris Soffel and soprano Rosa Mannion bespoke a firm grasp. Mahler's heaven-storming climaxes shook the Grossesfestspielhaus to its granite foundations, and anyone who did not feel a chill at the tremendous peroration must either have been dead or Austrian...
