Harry Jamison is a man of many talents. Jamison, a senior, is majoring in music and math and minoring in physics. That would be more than enough to turn the typical college student into a nervous wreck, but on top of that, he is performing Rachmaninoff’s monstrously difficult second piano concerto with the University Orchestra on November 7. If Jamison is feeling any stress though, he isn’t showing it.
