Memorial Celebration for Leon Russianoff - 26 years after his passing away in 1990 - Manhattan School of Music - VIP Charles Neidich and Mike Getzin, Directors

 

             On Sunday, February 14, the Manhattan School will host a day long memorial celebration for Leon Russianoff. Russianoff, one of the greatest and most beloved and most colorful clarinet teachers of the 20th century and one of the most important forces elevating the American School of clarinet playing to its position of preeminence passed away 25 years ago.

 
            The day will also serve, hopefully, to resuscitate the Russianoff Memorial scholarship fund at the Manhattan School which his wife, Penny Russianoff, established but which has been dormant for several years.

 

            Former students are urged to participate and honor their teacher and participate in the above activities. Many of the legendary former students are vitally interested in participating.  Please let everyone know, and contact Charles Neidich at cneidich@aol.com   or Mike Getzin at mikegetzin@hotmail.com

 

From VIP's Alan R Kay and Charles Neidich

 

Dear fellow Leon Russianoff devotees,

Please forgive this mass emailing, but time is running short, and this happens to be the most efficient way of reaching out to the large number of people who are either coming to our event this Sunday, February 14, have expressed interest in helping to revive the Leon Russianoff Memorial Scholarship at the Manhattan School of Music, or can’t come but simply love Leon Russianoff.  We are truly grateful to all of you for your interest and look forward to seeing many of you on Sunday!

To those of you who are performing and/or attending on Sunday, we would like to officially extend an invitation to a reception to be held immediately following the 4:30 concert in the Manhattan School of Music’s Mitzi Newhouse Pavilion, located down the stairs behind the security desk at the entrance to the school.  We would kindly ask for a $15-20 donation towards the expense of the reception; either our assistant, Yumi Ito, or I will be available to collect donations at any time during the day.  Thank you in advance!

For those interested in joining us in a clarinet choir extravaganza at the end of the 4:30 concert, please consider bringing an auxiliary instrument, if it’s convenient (i.e., E-flat clarinet, alto clarinet, bass clarinet, even contrabass clarinet).  Mitch Estrin has graciously provided parts for us and will conduct.

Many of you have asked about the Leon Russianoff Memorial Scholarship, which was for several years available to clarinet students at the Manhattan School.  We are in discussion with the School about reviving the scholarship at this time.  Many of you have generously offered to make a contribution towards the Scholarship; details on how to do so will follow soon after the event this Sunday.  Please be sure we have your correct contact information so that we can keep you informed.

If you haven’t already, please take a moment to visit the Facebook page set up by Stephen Clark, author of “Leon Russianoff: Clarinet Pedagogue,” at https://www.facebook.com/groups/536016053227925/546349045527959/?notif_t=group_activity.  It has been overwhelmingly heartwarming and moving to see our beloved teacher in action through the wonderful photos, videos and other materials posted by Steve on the page.  

Organizing this special event has been enormously gratifying for us.  The amazing response we’ve had from you and from people around the world has been overwhelming.  It comes as no surprise to any of us who benefited from his teaching or simply from being around Leon that his spirit lives on in all of us and that he will never be forgotten.  

Sincerely,

Alan Kay and Charles Neidich
