In Memoriam
The Collegiate Chorale Board, staff, and members are heartsick at the sudden death of our beloved Music Director, Robert Bass. For the last 28 years, Bob's vision, energy, and uncompromising dedication to musical excellence brought The Chorale to a new level of artistry and international attention. He loved to take risks and we loved and respected him for that spirit and for his extraordinary creativity. We were fortunate to have been inspired by him and to have made great music together. We join with the music community in New York and beyond in mourning this terrible loss. Our thoughts are with Bob's wife, Juliana; his children, Miranda and Jonathan; his brother, Alan; and his parents, Janice and David.
The Chorale's 2008-2009 season will continue as planned and will be dedicated to the enduring spirit, vision and artistry that Bob brought to the lives of everyone he touched.
Susan L. Baker, Chairman of the Board
Susan Shine, Membership President
Jennifer Collins, Executive Director |

"Tonight Robert Bass will make a conducting debut of sorts, when the Collegiate Chorale performs Carl Orff's Carmina Burana at the Verbier Festival in Switzerland.
Mr. Bass, 53, has been the chorale's music director since 1980 and is no stranger to the stage. But his new heart is. This will be his first performance since a heart transplant four months ago and his only gig before a stem-cell transplant next month.
These are the latest steps in a medical odyssey that has fundamentally altered both his life and his approach to conducting ..."
