It is with heavy heart that we share the obituary of an astounding musician and composer, Stanley Cowell and offer our condolences to his wife, Sylvia, and daughter, Sunny.

We were so honored to perform his "Asian Art Suite" in December 2018 with him on the Steinway as our guest artist. He will be missed by so many in the music community and beyond.

His playing consolidated generations of musical history. He was also a composer, an educator and the founder of an important artist-run record label.
