James Schwabacher

James Schwabacher died in July. His name is attached very publicly to the Schwabacher Debut Recital series; he had a career as a concert and operatic tenor; he gave freely of his time and money to support the musical arts in San Francisco. There've been a number of written tributes to him, and they all show how well-loved he was as a person. Here are some links

• Robert Commanday's SFCV feature on Schwabacher.


• Singer Brad Curtis's letter to SFCV.
  
  
• Joshua Kosman's report from the memorial service.
  

A lovely man, obviously. I'm so sorry I never knew him personally. I'll be looking for his recordings.
