Death of New York pianist and agency founder, 92
mainWe have been notified of the death of Kenneth Wentworth, a prolific and much-recorded pianist who founded the artist agency now known as Jonathan Wentworth Associates.
His wife and four-hand piano partner Jean Wentworth died in 2017 after 68 years of marriage.
The agency represents Colin Carr, Eunice Kim, Andrew Parrott, among others.
Kenneth Wentworth was truly one of the great gentleman in our industry. I do not know of a single colleague who would say otherwise. Always took the time for anyone. May his legacy be for a blessing for many.
A wonderful, wonderful man. Just about 3 months ago he emailed me with information about some job openings he thought I might be interested. This, despite everything else he was dealing with in his own life. RIP: Kenneth. A true gentleman, in every sense of the word.
Jean and her “good friend Kenneth Wentworth” were mainstays of the music department at Sarah Lawrence College, though Kenneth was officially retired when I was there. Both were dedicated educators and the best of people.
