Thanks to each of you for all the thoughts and memories of Bob. It would be difficult to respond to each of you but know that they have been read and greatly appreciated. For those that have asked, there will not be any services but a large Celebration Party in about 6 months. It is what Bob wanted.

Bob Bauchens, president and founding partner of ARTRA has passed away. As a musician, he played tuba with the Lyric Opera Orchestra, the Chicago Brass Quintet and the Buffalo Shufflers. He organized The Orchestra of Illinois which was the predecessor of today’s Chicago Philharmonic. His favorite role was as an artist manager, shaping the careers of many performers. He had a unique way of doing business; enjoying the pursuit of a booking and never giving up until he was successful. He believed in not making little plans, he enjoyed life to the fullest and the companionship of his many friends. For this, he would like to be remembered.

BRING MANCINI MAGIC TO YOUR STAGE!

Michael Berkowitz was one of the traveling musicians with Mancini’s Concert Orchestra, performing at major venues throughout the United States. It was Henry himself who suggested Michael make the move to Los Angeles to begin a career as a studio musician and later Pops conductor.
Henry Mancini performed over 600 concerts with symphony orchestras around the World. He is the winner of 4 Academy Awards, a Golden Globe and 20 Grammy Awards. Henry’s music thrilled millions of audiences in movies and television series as well as live performances.

Celebrate the music of Henry Mancini with a presentation of Mancini Magic, conducted by Michael Berkowitz. The show includes his actual arrangements of “Moon River”, “Pink Panther”, “Victor Victoria”, and “Days of Wine and Roses” - all these and many more are included. The performance is a heartfelt tribute to the genius of Henry Mancini.
