Sir Creep 7,070 Posted November 29, 2018 When Chuck Penington died last week, the Intergeneration Orchestra of Omaha (Nebraska) lost the only conductor it ever had. The orchestra, which is the only one of its kind in the country, paired musicians who are older than 50 with those younger than 25. Penington was with the Intergeneration Orchestra for 30 years. He also spent 30 years with Chip Davis and Mannheim Steamroller as a keyboardist and conductor. He was injured on Labor Day weekend, had intensive rehabilitation and appeared to be recovering. He was able to ride nine hours to his son’s wedding in Milwaukee at the end of September, his wife said. But he had lingering troubles from the accident and died Nov. 21 at the age of 73.

Glass, Reich, Part and Boulez are all doing well at the moment, but there are others of similar vintage; We all know about Elliott Carter, who made a sprightly century last December, but Henri Dutilleux is 93 John Gardner is 92 Gyorgy Kurtag is 83 Hans Werner Henze is 82, as is John Joubert Einojuhani Rautavaara is 81 Peter Sculthorpe is 80 All, save for Gardner, are still working.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 11, 2019 Norman Schweikert was a longtime horn player for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, who also taught at Northwestern University. Nationally recognized for his research into the lives of U.S. orchestra musicians, Schweikert also was one of the founding members of the International Horn Society. “Norman spent most of his 26 CSO years playing second horn, in the middle of the section, facilitating cohesion and unity,” said CSO acting principal horn Dan Gingrich, who worked alongside Schweikert for 22 years. Schweikert, 81, died of congestive heart failure Dec. 31, and was married for 57 years. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a great song. Didn't realize who the composer was, or that they were still alive. Sad news. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
