Maestro Paul Freeman (1936-2015)
Byron Hanson writes:
Please
accept my condolences on Paul's passing. At the beginning of my career
he gave me a part-time job teaching Music Appreciation at the Hochstein
School in Rochester which he headed for a few years. He also rehearsed
the Eastman Wind Ensemble from time to time and conducted the Rochester
Civic Orchestra in a concert or two that I was involved with. We hired
him to guest conduct the World Youth Symphony Orchestra at Interlochen
in 1984, '85, and '88, continuing his mission to lead young people and
introduce them to important works by composers of color they would not
likely have known but for his determination to bring this music to the
stage. He was a true pioneer.
