❤️❤️ It’s been a few days since I first heard about this tragic news but I still can’t accept it

I met Chris for the first time when he was in 10th grade, and inquiring about private Viola lessons. One month later, he called back to sign on with me, his private teacher, for lessons, and he remained with me until he graduated from high school. We became close friends during that time. He was…

Zeke : la luce di un genio.. Un privilegio raro averne incrociato il cammino ! Conoscendolo, non si poteva che amarlo.. la sua vitalità, la sua ironia, la sua personalissima originalità e la sua sconfinata nobiltà d’animo toccavano direttamente il cuore di ciascuno.. Unico, per sempre.. Nostro, di tutti noi..

It’s so unbelievably sad that Chris has been taken at such an early age. He gave so much to all who met him at the RCM. He wanted to hear everyone play and experience as much as possible there. His enthusiasm was infectious and his sheer joy in hearing music was a delight. His spirit…

Chris war unser Dirigent von 2011 bis 2014 und Ehrenmitglied des MiO. Am 18. Juni 2020 verstarb er im Alter von 36 Jahren. Lieber Chris, als Du im Oktober 2011 unser Dirigent geworden bist, hast Du uns alle sofort menschlich und musikalisch in Deinen Bann gezogen. Du hast das MiO-Leitmotiv “International. Social. Exciting.” des damals…

Caro Zeke, un dolore cosí grande non lo potevo certo immaginare. Dal primo giorno che ti ho conosciuto, quando sei venuto a Bologna a trovare Rebecca dopo il suo anno al Dartmouth, ti ho voluto un bene dell’anima e ti chiamavo il mio bimbo americano. Non riesco ancora a crederci e mi sento paralizzata. Sei…

Zeke was my boss. I met him when we were teaching English on a summer camp in Germany. All the kids adored him, and frankly so did I. Some people can leave such a lasting effect and impact just by being who they are; Zeke was one of those people. His positivity was contagious. …

On behalf of The Royal Ballet Music Department I am sending all our condolences and sadness at the loss of Christopher. He had attended a lecture on ballet conducting at the Royal College of Music given by our Principal Guest Conductor Barry Wordsworth and had started to observe our work at the Royal Opera House….

I only knew him for a brief few weeks as he culminated his time at Dartmouth College in NH. I was lucky enough to be part of his Mozart Requiem project, through which his charisma, talent, passion for music and conducting, and unflinching ambition shone brightly. He had the voice of an angel! When we…
