It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing on Monday of Mark Zinger of the School of Music. He was 93 years of age. Professor Zinger was a long-time violin faculty and professor emeritus. Dean Caltabiano has noted: "Mark Zinger was a highly respected colleague and professor and one of our principal pedagogues. His musical advice was highly valued not just by his violin students, but by all students. In addition to his knowledge of violin technique and literature, he was admired for his warmth and compassion. He taught his students with great care and taught them to love music and to love performing."
Services took place today. For more information: https://www.forevermissed.com/
Thank you.
