Sad to report that theater director and visual artist Robert Wilson passed this morning at 83. 

His long list of collaborators in the music world includes Philip Glass, Laurie Anderson, Don Cherry, Tom Waits, David Byrne, Lou Reed, Dickie Landry, Hal Willner, Helmut Lachenmann, Arvo Pärt, Michael Galasso, and so many others.

I was his archivist for about 11 years, and got to know him & his work quite well. He was something else! Surely some of our board members have seen his plays/operas in person.

I saw "Einstein on The Beach" in Los Angeles about 10 years ago.  An amazing work.  That was a definitely bucket-list thing for me...
