To pianotech & caut lists, As some of you may know, because of Andrei Svetlichny's death, Joel Rappaport has been asked to replace him this summer as the head technician at Tanglewood. Joel mentioned a memorial concert for Andrei this summer and I asked for permission to post information about it on the lists in case anyone was in the area and would like to attend. Here is some information, in part, from the information sheet that Stephen Brock, Baldwin Exec. Vice Pres. sent out. The following may be quoted: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "As you may know, on April 12, 1998, Andrei Svetlichny, Baldwin's Chief Concert Technician, passed away following a long illness... With the help of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, we have scheduled a memorial event to honor Andrei... The event will be held on Saturday, June 20, 1998, at 2 p.m. at Ozawa Hall at Tanglewood in Lenox, MA. Scheduled to join us and perform briefly are several artists for whom Andrei provided service over the years, including Temuri Akhobadze, Abbey Simon, and Earl Wild." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` End of quoted material Hope this info is of use to some of you.
