Death of Carnegie Hall’s most prolific presenter

Death of Carnegie Hall’s most prolific presenter

The Greek-American conductor and impresario Peter Tiboris, who was died aged 76, was recognised as ‘the most prolific presenter of choral concerts in the history of Carnegie Hall.’

He presented 1,500 events worldwide, including opera, symphonic concerts, Greek folk music and ballet.

The composer John Ritter has said of his biography: ‘Could anyone have accomplished what Peter has accomplished? Peter’s combination of musical insight, vision, energy, commitment, and determination to make the most of whatever opportunities life offers is, to say the least, uncommon. He is modest enough to claim “it’s all about the music,” and of course it is, but I believe you will come away … thinking “Yes, but there’s a lot more to it than that.”’
