Farewell, Maestro

Maestro James Jorgenson, founder of the Gordon Symphony Orchestra, passed away on December 28 at the age of 77.

I spent three years at Gordon under the direction of the Maestro. I will remember him as a kind, creative, slightly kooky individual who was always loved by his students. There was something about that Wisconsin accent, and the way he always pronounced “sorry” as “soar-ree”.

May you continue making music in heaven!
