Distinguished actor John Lithgow '67 was on hand, as usual, to add a dramatic - and comic - flair to the series of lively events. Lithgow and President Drew Faust joined forces to honor jazz saxophonist Joshua Redman '91 with this year's Harvard Arts Medal. From chamber music to juggling to a cappella crooners, talented Harvard artists brought a world of color, culture, and sound to a few wet yet magical days.
