Stravinsky’s Long-Time Assistant Robert Craft Has Died

America conductor, writer and musicologist Robert Craft has died - aged 92.

A graduate of the Juilliard School, he has long been remember for his close association and partnership with composer Igor Stravinsky.

He served as Stravinsky’s live-in-assistant and collaborator from 1948 until his death in 1971 - and is credited in history with having introduced him to the 12-tone methodology.

As a conductor, Mr Craft lead a number of major American orchestras - including the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, San Francisco Symphony and the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

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