The death has been announced of Lawrence Klevan, co-founder of New Music Chicago. He was 67.

His friend Michael Longon posts:

He was a living encyclopedia of classical music, joyful and generous with his mazel tovs, and easily the most hardcore superfan of The Chicago Symphony Orchestra I met in my time there.
Lawrence subscribed to the exact same seat in the back row of the tippy top section of Symphony Hall for over 40 years and he LOVED IT. If I had my druthers, the CSO should put a plaque with his name on that seat.
