Several concerts have been organized in tribute to beloved composer Lee Hyla after his untimely passing this June. Also important to note that a Lee Hyla Music Foundation is being set up in response to much interest in contributing toward a scholarship fund and/or establishing a fellowship in Lee’s name at the MacDowell Colony. More details to come as this develops.
