Was Still Teaching … Even On His Deathbed<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

I am saddened to inform you of the passing of our esteemed colleague and dear friend, Professor Emeritus of Music Roman Totenberg.<\/p>\n

A survivor of two world wars, Roman offered the world hope and love through his extraordinary music-making. First guided in his art by 19th<\/sup> century masters such as Flesch and Enescu, his legacy is a testimony to the power of human strength and resilience.<\/p>\n

Throughout our long and wonderful relationship with him, he always kept BU and its students in his heart; now, we will forever hold him in ours.\u00a0 \u00a0We are so grateful to have known such a unique and generous artist and human being; more than a virtuoso, he was a true global citizen who bridged three centuries with his artistry and teaching.<\/p>\n

Our thoughts are with his family.<\/p>\n

Details of his memorial service will be posted here when they are announced.<\/p>\n
