We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of longtime Board Member, Luiz de Moura Castro

It is with a great deal of sorrow that the American Liszt Society acknowledges the passing of long-time prominent board member Luiz de Moura Castro. Luiz was a unique concert artist in the grand tradition of the golden age of pianism. He was also a devoted teacher and mentor to more than one generation of aspiring young musicians. He believed that beauty lived in every note of every piece one could learn, study, and perform.. He believed that it was the artist's responsibility to find that beauty without compromise. The intensity of his teaching was matched by the compassionate care he showered upon his students. He instilled in all of us that same belief in the beauty that lives within the warp and woof of music. We mourn with his spouse Bridget, his children and grandchildren, as well as with his friends, colleagues, students, and Lisztians far and near. Requiescat in pace.
