Clarinetist Lorin Levee remembered
The LA Philharmonic lost a dear member of its family earlier this season when co-principal clarinetist Lorin Levee passed away at the age of 61. On this week’s LA Phil concert broadcast on Classical KUSC, some of the musicians in the orchestra remember their colleague of 30 seasons

Thank you David. I am in the process of trying to compile memories for my daughters. Also, while cleaning out my father's belongings, I came across his early performances starting at age 8, including the Nielsen he performed at Interlochen in 1963.
1. Age 8 (public debut) Cavalini: La Sonnombula
2. Age 9 (Lyon and Healey competition) - Verdi: Rigoletto Fantasy
3. Age 9 - Korsakov: Flight of the Bumblebee
4. Age 10 - Weber: Concertino
5. Age 12 - Mozart: Clarinet Concerto
6. Age 13 (Interlochen Music Camp) - Nielsen: Clarinet Concerto
I also have a large number of performances that took place at DePaul in the early to mid 1970s. I have not had a chance to go through those yet.
My goal this summer is to post them on youtube along with a video of my father playing a duet (Hava Nagila) with my then 7 year old.
If anyone has any memories that they would like to share, please do so. You can email me directly or feel free to post on this bulletin board. Both of my daughters are "techie" so I think they would enjoy doing searches of their grandfather and reading stories of Chicago, Interlochen, LA Phil., etc.
Thank you all for the kind words of my father and helping to keep his memory alive.
David Levee
