IN MEMORIAM CHRIS HAFF-PALUCK:
In a message posted on Sunday, Arts Renaissance Tremont Board President Fred Calatrello wrote:
“It is with great regret and a heavy heart that I must inform you that Chris, our friend, colleague and the moving spirit behind ART, passed away last night with her husband at her bedside. I don’t have to tell any of you what a great loss this is not only for us but also for her many former students, her numberless friends in the musical community and, indeed, anyone who had the good fortune to know and work with her over the many years she lived in and served this community. We all know that in addition to husband, family and friends, Chris’ great passion over the past three decades has been ARTS RENAISSANCE TREMONT; not only did she create the organization but she worked year in and year out to secure funding and artists so that each year we could bring great music to audiences in N.E.Ohio. For Chis, this was truly a labour of love.”
Arrangements are pending. A tribute to Chris will be published on ClevelandClassical.com later this week. [Read more…]
