Remembering Larry Rachleff
Conductor Larry Rachleff chats with CMW students. We are saddened to learn of the passing of Larry Rachleff, longtime music director of the RI Philharmonic, mentor to several of our colleagues who attended the Shepherd School of Music in Houston, and valued member of CMW’s Advisory Council. Rachleff leads a conducting workshop with CMW students in 2004.
Larry had a generous spirit, always willing to chat with CMW students and welcome them to RI Philharmonic concerts and rehearsals, and once offered a conducting workshop at Community MusicWorks.
Larry was a force as a musician and teacher in the music world and certainly brought about searing and special music-making in Rhode Island for more than two decades. His legacy will certainly live on, and we will miss him.
