American violinist John C. Merrill has passed away from pancreatic cancer - aged 75.

A graduate of Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music, where he studied with Josef Gingold, Mr Merrill performed as a long term member of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.

Our condolences are with his family, friends, colleagues and students.
