OFA officials said the visit not only gave the visitors a new perspective but offered Harvard something in return.
“I think we made history,” said OFA program manager Thomas Lee. “The group added a new level of excellence to this institution.”
OFA director Jack C. Megan, who initially invited the choir, attended the performance despite injuries sustained in a major sledding accident in early January.
“There’s a role for universities to play as patrons of the arts,” he said. “And Harvard played it beautifully. Dr. T to me is a hero for what he does.”
