A very nice man. I worked with him at Juilliard and the youthful energy I remember makes me surprised that he was this this old. I will remember him fondly.
I would not say ‘nice man’, A Mensch with endless Energy….
A wonderful cellist, artist, teacher, and a true mensch. A role model for devotion to music, to helping others to improve, and to the beauty and value of music and compassion.
I also knew Andre from Juilliard and Mensch is the best word to describe him.
Lovely men dedicated to music. RIP.
I didn’t know about his health issues. Sad news, regardless.
As I recall, he was in the Cleveland Orchestra during and after Lynn Harrell’s years, and played extensively with Harrell at the Cleveland Institute and other venues.
He was a wonderful musician and a lovely person, as others have already stated.
RIP.
Mr. E was a man of amazing intellect, musicianship, generosity, and humor. He was a champion of new and neglected music, helping bring many amazing new works to light and life through his tireless advocacy.
I had the wonderful good fortune to study cello with him at Juilliard, but in the end I think it’s the lessons on life I learned from him which have been even more valuable.
