We were deeply saddened to learn recently of the passing of violinist and RNCM alumnus Blaize Henry at the age of 34. Blaize joined the RNCM as an undergraduate in 2010, studying with Steve Wilkie, and quickly became a much loved member of the RNCM community. Blaize went on to establish himself as a highly respected chamber musician and educator and was a long-standing member of the Chineke! Orchestra.
Fellow graduate, Linton Stephens, has set up a JustGiving page, raising money to commission a piece in memory of Blaize: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/linton-stephens-1
Our thoughts are with Blaizeβs family, friends, and colleagues at this difficult time. He will be greatly missed.
IΚΌm raising money to commission music in memory of Blaize. Support this JustGiving Crowdfunding Page.
