In Monday\u2019s (11\/25) New York Times<\/em><\/a>, James Oestreich writes about multiple events last week in Dallas marking the 50 years since John F. Kennedy was assassinated, including performances by the Dallas Symphony at Meyerson Symphony Center. \u201cThe World Is Very Different Now<\/em>, the young Conrad Tao\u2019s new piece in the Dallas Symphony program \u2026 plays personal against public, taking its origin, in Mr. Tao\u2019s words, from \u2018the many devastatingly personal stories that use J.F.K.\u2019s assassination as a starting point,\u2019 responses to \u2018a seemingly inexplicable act of public violence.\u2019 \u2026 It was hard to take the measure of the piece at all on first hearing, since the performance was overwhelmed by strong but distracting visual images from a film commissioned for these performances but not an integral part of the work. So I went back to hear Mr. Tao\u2019s piece again on Friday evening, this time with eyes firmly closed, and it proved shapely and powerful, especially in its haunting, accepting if not optimistic coda. At 19, Mr. Tao knows his way around a large orchestra (here including scrap metal as percussion) as well as many an elder master. He was helped immeasurably by the Dallas Symphony and Jaap van Zweden, its music director since 2008, who performed superbly in both concerts.\u201d<\/p>\n
