Death of a viola legend
RIPFriends are reporting the death of Donald McInnes, influential performer and teacher.
With an international career, he was long associated with the University of Southern California in Los Angeles at the Thornton School of Music. He was also Barbra Streisand’s go-to violist.
Dear Don, I feel so honoured to have studied with you, to have been your friend and colleague and to have had shared our friends, students and families. You will be deeply missed by many.
A true artist who as a teacher was one of the few who could mix method with magic; an inspiration for many generations to come
RIP
