The death has been reported of Kevork Mardirossian, professor of violin at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music since 2008.
His partner Lee Phillips writes:
Dear friends, loves, I write to share what many have already heard… with heaviest heart, trembling hands, a heart that’s impossible to calm, I mention that my beautiful, beloved boy, Kevork Mardirossian, seen in a dream and gifted to me for almost 40 years in this world by the universe, has passed June 11, some time mid afternoon. My Kevuchka had struggled since December with physical and mental health issues, failed by the mental health system, and finally his beautiful, now thin ( perfect!) little body and sensitive, powerful mind could take no more. I was with him, supporting his cool body and head with adrenaline and love, tasted his sweet mouth one last time trying to breathe life back into him…I was so fortunate to be free to be with him these months of struggle, and calm, and domestic loving moments, and many many many doc appointments … I told him, Baby, we always get through everything together, all this is no different! He was concerned that I was exhausted, typically selfless, but I would not change a moment, except for going up for my daily covid nap and not being with him at the terrible moment when he departed…
