I never met Andrew, but read his blog (and tweets) with interest. He was a significant part of the arts journalism ecosystem in Chicago. It's a huge shock that he's gone without any warning and at the young age of 55. RIP, Andrew; deepest condolences to his partner Tom Bachtell, his mother Irene Patner, and to all who knew and loved him.
Obits and remembrances, more or less in the order I found them:
- Alex Ross
- WFMT (Steve Robinson)
- Chicago Sun-Times (Maureen O'Donnell and Miriam Di Nunzio)
- Chicago Tribune (John van Rhein)
- Classical Voice America (Lawrence Johnson)
