We learned yesterday that John Shaw, the Curator of the Hope-Jones organ, died . His funeral was yesterday in Pennsylvania.
We tried to find out if the concert program for August 1 were to be changed because of Gordon Turk’s close relationship with Mr. Shaw, but we could get no answers from either the Program Director of the CMA or the CMA Publicist.
At 5 pm we consulted Jason Tramm’s Facebook page and found this:
Due to the passing of John Shaw, the Organ Curator and Executive Director of the Summer Stars Orchestral Finale program for next Thursday’s concert will be changed to:
Wagner- Overture to Tannhauser
DuParc- Chanson Triste
Bizet- Flower song
Ronald Naldi, Tenor
Bizet- Carmen Suite No. 1
Rimsky-Korsakov- Scheherazade
Byung Kook Kwak, Violin Soloist
Jason C. Tramm, Conductor
MidAtlantic Symphony Orchestra
