“I’ve never met anyone who combines such consummate knowledge of the traditional, core classical side of our business with an unbounded creative attitude towards the new and innovative. To be able to advise with total wisdom and experience on one hand and such imagination and inventiveness on the other is a rare and special sort of brilliance.

There is no way that FUSE at the Pittsburgh Symphony would exist today if not for Bob’s foresight, vision and advocacy for taking creative risks.”

–Steve Hackman, Creative Director of FUSE@Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra
