We mourn the death of Andrea Wirth (1970-2022), a superb musician and wonderful colleague. Her always-musical, spot-on percussion playing enriched so many of our Americana concerts, tours and recordings, most recently Camerata’s Free America! CD for Harmonia Mundi. Her sunny, life-embracing personality enriched us beyond measure, and as she endured her final illness with a profound philosophy of life, she became our teacher. How we shall miss her, but how we do treasure the enduring memories: those musical experiences, and those moments of fellowship!
