The Greek violinist who played on past 90
mainGiorgos Koros, who has died weeks short of his 92nd birthday, was a self-taught musician who became a household name in his native land. He composed some 1,200 works in a traditional mode and is seen here playing at the age of 90. May he enjoy a well-earned rest.
There’s a very moving excerpt from his funeral, accompanied by a group of violinists he influenced, at this Facebook video: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10201813965488872
