The September meeting performance was "to honor the memory of our
friend and mentor, Robert Motl (1957-2019). He was the founder of our small
group, including his wife, Rory Motl. Rob was an award-winning
composer and teacher. Under his mentorship our skills and musicality
developed further. We miss him greatly.
He was the originator of The Octet Project, and musicians from
the Austin Symphony performed under his guidance. A
recording was released in November 2017. Sadly, the
Project will not see further development that Rob had planned." |
