Ex-Verbier pianist loses everything in US house fire
main‘Pray for me,’ messages Terrence Wilson, a concert pianist and former Verbier assistant, after fire gutted his Montclair, New Jersey, apartment block.
Terrence has lost his piano and most of his possessions, including a Grammy nomination certificate.
Offers of help are trickling in. If you know Terrence, send some solidarity to his facebook page.
I love this guy to bits – he’s just wonderful! Things will come good, Terrence.
I love how you act like you actually care, Norman. When you are a vicious toxic old queen to most people on and offline.
I find this comment gratuitous, especially in light of Mr. Wilson’s loss. I hope others agree that the main purpose of this blog is presenting the news that concerns the world of music and discussion when appropriate. Personal attacks serve no purpose.
Please let’s not lose sight of the report.
This message is from a formerly anonymous person called Sarah Sanchez, apparently a violinist. She is banned from further participation.
… And you think this sort of comment is going to improve the level of discourse?
What was the cause of the fire and was a whole city block lost? This is terrible.
Where is Mrs. Kaplinsky? Certainly, she could help. As with the tragedy of the Brown sisters — Veda Kaplinsky seems happy to benefit from her talented students, but does not seem to ever be available to help her students when they urgently need help!
Ms. Kaplinsky is far too high up on the musical social strata to be bothered with someone like this young man. Although she seems tto be a fine teacher, she also works with some of the most talented and easy to teach artists. When one can teach a twelve year old to play Fur Elise musically, one has truly arrived.
