Death of a New York conductor, aged 56
mainWe regret to share news of the death of the international saxophone virtuoso and composer, John-Edward Kelly.
A professor of contempoary music in leading European conservatoires, John-Edward shifted more to conducting in the past decade, founding the Arcos Chamber Orchestra of New York with the violinist Elissa Cassini.
He leaves a wife, four children and more than 200 published scores.
Incredibly sad to hear. A fantastic musician. Rest in peace!
