Houston mourns pivotal personality

Houston Grand Opera mourns the passing of our longtime principal percussionist and orchestra personnel manager, Richard Brown. ️

“He was one of the most important engines of the artistic growth of the Houston Grand Opera Orchestra,” shares Artistic and Music Director Patrick Summers. “Richard was forever busy, both out front in the percussion section, where he played countless performances at HGO, or behind the scenes on his phone or computer, concentrating on the next thing in the schedule. I will miss him enormously, as both a colleague and friend, and will always remember him with gratitude and admiration.”
