“...with Jacob Druckman’s “Aureole” (1979), a score rich in hazy mystery and textural allure, qualities that Keitaro Harada had no trouble coaxing from the orchestra.”

-Allan Kozinn, New York Times

“vividly conducted”

-Matthew Guerrieri, The Boston Globe

“GREAT EXPECTATIONS. [Keitaro Harada] has the juice to make them reality...”

-Cathalena E. Burch, Arizona Daily Star / Cover page of ARTS Section 06.05.2009

“this small instrumental force was credibly — indeed magically — magnified into a proper orchestra by conductor Keitaro Harada through perfect timing, dramatic dynamics, and unerring coordination of the musical stagecraft. Not a second was out of synch. Everything had that ineffable snap. There was never a dull moment!”

-Eli Newberger, The Boston Musical Intelligencer

-Review of “Ariadne auf Naxos” at Tanglewood Music Center

“His style was highly expressive”

-K.S. Morrison, The Macon Telegraph

“Harada’s style of conducting is a wonderful combination of high energy and quiet understatement”

-Bill Hess, The Sierra Vista Herald

“He possessed endless energy and confidence and an impressive sense of timing that resulted in one of the evening’s finest moments.”

-Cathalena E. Burch, Arizona Daily Star
