Passing of a Casals pupil, 80

Passing of a Casals pupil, 80

We have learned belatedly of the death from Alzheimers complications of the cellist Gayle Mae Smith, a pupil of Casals in Puerto Rico and of Piatigorsky in Los Angeles (pictured).

She enjoyed an international solo career and went on to teach at various US universities, as well as Chetham’s School of Music in Manchester and  the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand.
