We have received reports of the death of Antonio Lysy, an international soloist who taught for 20 years at the University of California in Los Angeles. He had just completed a first visit to Argentina in five years.

The violist Ettore Causa writes:

There are no words that can describe the profound sadness and the sense of loss I feel with the cruel and premature departure of Antonio Lysy.
Antonio was a wonderful cellist, a dedicated teacher and a truly marvelous human being.
Everyone that knew him, will tell you that he had a very kind and gentle soul, he was a person full of love for life, a man with a great sense of humor who was incredibly elegant, classy and yet genuinely simple, someone who always showed both wisdom and character.
I have known Antonio for more than 30 years, I am immensely privileged to have been his friend and I am going to miss him terribly.
