We have sad news of the death of Graham Melville-Mason, a British authority on Czech music and one of its great ambassadors in the English-speaking world. He was 85.

Graham taught himself Czech in the 1970s by talking to a neighbour from the BBC Czech Service while they walked their dogs. He was head of the Dvorak Society,taught at Edinburgh University and Prague, and served for 20 years as music advisor to the Edinburgh Festival.
