John Leech who, with his wife Noretta Conci, created the Keyboard Charitable Trust, died on Friday a week ago at the age of 99. He received a private family funeral.
The Keyboard Charitable Trust helps talented young performers (aged 18-30) by offering them opportunities to perform throughout the world in London, New York, Mexico, Berlin and Rome.
I will try to reproduce an article Menahem Pressler wrote about John.
