Dear Friends:

I have have just heard of the passing of the great Harry Begian. Many of us knew Harry from his early days in Michigan. I played in his orchestra as a extra at Cass Technical High School, and later knew him at the University of Michigan.

He finished his illustrious career at the University of Illinois, with his Doctorate, as a great conductor of Bands.

Harry was a rare musician/teacher, always giving and a model example of great musicianship and dedication. It is a major loss to all who knew Harry, worked under his guidance, or had the opportunity to be his friend.

Harry Begian will be missed. May his passing be a blessing.
