Sadly, with deep sadness, I regret to inform you our longtime

wind coach Joe Axup passed away on March 18th, 2008.

Joe has been an indispensable part of the workshop

for over twenty-five years. He was a warm and nurturing

coach, a talented composer and arranger, and a good

friend of chamber music.

We will all miss him immensely.
