...evening of Saturday, Mar. 3, when the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra (HRO) took to the same stage to deliver an impressive performance to the delight of parents and students alike this Junior Parents’ Weekend. Conducted by Music Director James Yannatos, the program consisted of works by Respighi and Dvorák, as well as Mozart’s “Piano Concerto No. 24,” featuring soloist Dwight P.
