American violinist, conductor and pedagogue Paul Zukofsky has passed away from non-Hodgkin lymphoma - aged 73.

A graduate of The Juilliard School, where he studied with Ivan Galamian, Mr Zukofsky was a former 1st prize winner at the Young Concert Artist International Auditions - and served on faculty at the Arnold Schoenberg Institute at the University of Southern California

He will be remembered as one of the 20th Century's leading advocates of new music - having worked closely with luminary contemporary composers John Cage, Elliott Carter, George Crumb, Krzysztof Penderecki and Philip Glass.

Our condolences are with Mr Zukofsky’s family, friends, colleagues and students.
