I just read that Humbert Lucarelli has died. Here is an interview.
From his Facebook page:
“It is with the deepest sadness that we report that the Maestro, Bert Lucarelli, passed peacefully at home on August 10th. Details are still being worked out for a celebration of life.”
**Update: I’m sorry I hadn’t seen the information about the event until after the fact — it was yesterday. I’ve been busy getting over jet lag and it’s taking some time. (We were gone for 9 1/2 weeks.)
Please let me know.
Bert was an honest to goodness real mensch. An oboe scholar, wonderful musician, teacher and mentor. I am saddened by his passing.
Bert’s memorial service will be at 11am on Saturday, September 9th, at St. Mary’s-in-Tuxedo (10 Fox Hill Rd, Tuxedo Park, NY 10987). More info here… https://www.stmtux.org/campaigns/view-campaign/thCvZe1MsWKXap7hK7L2tqd6ZNraYYVs9xwrItBzWvtQWSBwIXSP4_pmL_U2D6o7YcSybmXwZ29DAHHBaV0HxnzCsPdK5zJS
