Maestro Erich Kunzel, the Cincinnati Pops conductor, lost his battle with cancer this morning. As a Pops subscriber, I have enjoyed attending Pops concerts for over twenty years. Maestro Kunzel with his vast musical knowledge and his contagious enthusiasm has been a big reason that I have enjoyed attending these concerts so much. His presence will be truly missed. We mourn his passing, but celebrate his accomplishments in the music world and all he did to put the Cincinnati Pops on the map and the world stage. Here's to you Maestro Kunzel- we give a final rouse, drink a final round, and sing once again in your memory:
"They have the still North in their soul,
The hill-winds in their breath,
And the granite of New Hampshire
Is made part of them till death."
(Dartmouth College Alma Mater)
