In harmonies
Leading to grand finales!
Christopher (Zeke) and Sarah Bohlman after performing Brandenburg Concerto #6, 27 May 2002, as part of a chamber music recital at the Top of the Hop, Dartmouth College. Zeke will live on in the hearts and minds of those who knew and loved him. My condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.

Medical summer retreat in 2.000\. Christopher 17 years old. Even then he was already a conductor. Somehow he had everything in hand. He was somehow indispensable in this pioneering phase of an anthroposophical clinic. Not only because he started singing together with patients and coworkers in the early morning or performed as an entertainer and…
Christopher entered our lives last year when he came to Norfolk to conduct the Yorke Trust’s summer opera, The Tempest. On our journey from the station when he told me the choristers would be singing the opera choruses from memory, it didn’t seem achievable. I soon discovered that through Chris’ absolute belief in peoples’ abilities,…
