Sunday's performance by Temple University Symphony Orchestra (TUSO) and Temple's Combined Choirs at the Kimmel Center earned high praise. "Temple University may be the only Philadelphia institution capable of presenting [major works] without collaborating with another organization," wrote Tom Purdom, who also praised Luis Biava, long-time Boyer College of Music and Dance faculty member and TUSO conductor. "Biava is a sensitive conductor with a marked talent for pulling all the values out of a score. The first time I heard him conduct Temple student musicians, I was startled by the poetic scene painting he drew."
