I thought of Connie as I parked my car by the former Belanthi Gallery in Brooklyn, where I met her in 1993 through Paulette Hios’ Philomusica Chorus, and where I had the good fortune to accompany her on clarinet for some of her solo performances. I wondered how she was and was saddened to learn of her passing. Connie was a lovely, talented, musical woman with a beautiful voice. My condolences to her son Spiro and to her extended family.
