Peter Row Obituary

HEATH - Peter Lyman Row, 73, of Heath, MA passed away April 2, 2018 from unexpected complications associated with very recently diagnosed cancer.
He was born to the late Arthur and Anne Row on September 25, 1944, in Boston, MA, and was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Tracy.
A performing musician, teacher, and ethnomusicologist, Peter was a highly regarded member of the faculty of the New England Conservatory since 1973 and later served as Dean (1983-1990) and Provost (1990-1996 and 2000-2004). Peter was a talented administrator. During his tenure at NEC he established the Doctoral of Music program and introduced world music into the curriculum under the leadership of then President Gunther Schuller.
Peter was introduced to music as a young boy by his parents and paternal grandfather, an amateur organist. At age eight he started with trumpet and at ten began violin studies. As a teenager Peter pursued music theory and composition, performed chamber music, played in orchestras, and developed an interest in folk guitar. As a junior in high school Peter first learned of North Indian music, which led him to move to Calcutta, India, in 1965 to study Indian Classical music with Sangeetachanrya Gokul Nag, first on sitar and later on rudra vina. By 1973 he had obtained degrees of Bachelor of Music, Master of Music and Doctor of Music (Sangitacharya), from the Prayag Sangit Samiti in Allahabad, India where he received the gold medal in the Instrumental Music Division B.M. Merit list exams and the silver medal in the Instrumental Music Division M.M. Merit list exams.
Peter performed in concert throughout North America and India and made numerous radio and television appearances. A former president of the Northeast Chapter of the Society of Ethnomusicology, he was a well-known and widely published scholar of cross-cultural studies and has lectured on music and the role of the arts in culture across the U.S. He was the recipient of a JDR Third Fund Fellowship for Doctoral Studies in India, and served as a consultant on Asian music for the Smithsonian Institute.
At NEC, he taught in the Contemporary Improvisation, Liberal Arts, and Music History Departments. Of note was his perennially popular Indian Modal Improvisation course, where he taught a wide range of instrumental students, including sitarists, violinists, guitarists, clarinetists, electric bassists and saxophonists, among others. In addition to teaching mastery of technique, Peter helped students gain the broader skills that allowed them to express their own creativity through music. Many of his students have gone on to very successful careers in a wide range of musical endeavors across the world. Peter developed and taught many new classes, including 'The Buddha', 'Cultural History of India', 'Hindu Myths', and 'The Travels of Marco Polo (Il Milione)', as well as both undergrad and graduate offerings looking at the Music of India. He was committed to sharing his love of Indian music with a wider audience through the many lecture demos he gave at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and in various colleges and concert venues throughout New England. He was a frequent musical collaborator with his colleagues in NEC's Contemporary Improvisation Department and was instrumental in bringing several prominent Indian musicians to the Boston area and NEC including Pandit Ravi Shankar, Pandit Hari Prasad Chaurasia and Ustad Ali Akbar Khan and was active in promoting Indian music in the US throughout his career.
Peter will be widely missed by family, friends, fellow faculty members and administrators and the large number of students he has taught over the decades. He loved teaching and working with students, and he was, in turn, a much beloved and treasured mentor to many. His generosity of spirit and his gentle and loyal support helped to guide many people throughout his life, and he will be sorely missed.
In recent years, after moving to Western Massachusetts, Peter enjoyed expanding interests in many new areas, and enjoyed hobbies of archery, canoeing, fishing and biking. He made many new friends. He was an active participant in town alternative energy committees and in the Heath Union Church, where he sang bass in the choir, helped establish an annual music series, began planning a supplemental hymnal with universal and nature themes, and enjoyed lively conversations on comparative religion, philosophy and history.
Until the end of his life, Peter continued musical explorations, ranging from a deeper focus on rudra vina, to performing Hindustani music with a new trio of musicians (sitar, violin and tabla); to exploring the connection between ragas and Portuguese Cantigas; to performing free improvisation with Jazz French Horn. His early love of classical music, especially violin, and folk music remained constant, and Peter continued to attend many classical concerts and to play and sing folk music while accompanying himself on the guitar.
Survivors include his wife, Heather; son, Andrew and partner Catherine Hanningan; son Christopher, wife Agatha, granddaughters Emma and Beatrice; brother David, wife Kathleen; brother Gordon, wife Ginia, and niece Catherine; and nieces Rachel and Sarah Kaufman. Peter loved spending time with family and was a beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, son-in-law, and relative. He will be deeply missed by his family and many friends in the U.S., India and throughout the world.
A family-only memorial service was held on April 8th in Heath. Additional memorial services are being planned for Boston in the fall of 2018, and in Heath and Minneapolis this summer 2018.
Gifts in memory of Peter Row may be made to The NEC Fund designated for student scholarship support.

Memories and Condolences
for Peter Row

Not sure what to say?





Ended up here after searching for a pic of an Indian sitarist, but I must say, I'm sorry to have missed Peter, just the possibility of Peter (maybe having heard of him, hearing his music, seeing him play, meeting him, sending him an email, anything at all, really). But I'm now going to search for his music. He sounds like he was a fascinating man.

I'm quite late with this, but not too long before Peters passing, I met the family, and became friends with Heather and Peter, and had mutual interests in music, and local for local food production. Peter liked my playing, and said he never seen anyone play the guitar, like a banjo, so I was pleased to introduce an academic, to the world of self taught, by ear, playing and singing. I had a very old Milanese made guitar, we both thought was special, so Peter offered to take me down to Tony's guitar shop, in Amherst,to value the guitar, and a good day indeed it was.I really liked him, and was happy to find a kindred spirit, whose company I enjoyed, and could have an intelligent conservation with... but alas; fate intervened, as it was his time to leave this physical world. Our friendship was short, but it was an honor, and pleasure, to know a man so true to himself ,in today's world. God Speed Peter Bill via Switzerland.

I've been abed icing a twisted knee, hence a few days late for Guru Purnima. Sometimes the student can be the teacher, and that was partially the case with Peter and me. Peter got an Apple II sometime in the late 70s and soon I was intrigued by this "home computer". For some reason computer hardware came naturally to me, but programming made my brain twist and shout. On the other hand, hardware was something of a mystery to Peter but he took to programming immediately. So we enjoyed a symbiotic relationship - he taught me about programming and I taught him about hardware and would help troubleshoot his computer.
So what does this have to do with music? It also reflected our interaction with the music and the instruments. I was better at working on instruments, setting them up, fixing them etc. (aka "the hardware") and I would work on his instruments to the extent of even refinishing his beloved 1960s Hiren Roy sitar. Peter was far better at the music and taught me the niceties of raga, structure and music etc. (aka programming).
It took me many years to realize this but when I did I could not help but smile at the serendipity.
Thinking of you as always, Peter.

Today is Peter's birthday. In a few months I turn 70. Peter was only six years older than me, but to me he seemed already an elder and wise well beyond my own years. It feels right that it was in the month of his birth I first became his student. As always, Peter, thank you for the lessons in both music and life.

Another Guru Purnima is upon us, a day to honor and show appreciation for our teachers.

I remember around 2nd year of studying sitar with Peter we were working on raga Malgunji. As usual he asked me to play for a few minutes to gauge where I was in absorbing his teachings. So I began playing what he had taught me in a simple alap. Peter listened for the few minutes I played for him and he immediately asked "What happened to you?" with a great grin on his face. I asked what he meant and he said "You got it!" And it dawned on me I knew exactly what he meant. We chatted a bit about the implications and went on with the lesson.

I had no prior musical experience before I began studying Classical Indian music in 1973 (I was almost 23 years old then). The first few years were so difficult for me to grasp that I had no idea I wasn't grasping it. It was like that old adage "You have to learn how to learn." When Peter commented "You got it!" he meant I was showing my first signs of actually understanding this music. On retrospect I found I had recently been listening to the music in a very different way. I realized I was adding an element of objective analysis which allowed me to begin understanding how the raga is structured and its progression. It also helped me really appreciate how performances of the same raga can be so different but without violating that ragas own rules.

This little session with raga Malgunji was probably the single most important lesson Peter gave me, as it can be applied universally to all ragas and it continues to carry through to this day.

So, as always, thank you Peter.

On this second year of Peter's passing, I want to share something he said to me during my first year of study:

"You know, Michael, there can be a lot of politics in this music. But that isn't what we are here for. This music is so beautiful it transcends arguments and squabbles. So just listen. Listen to everyone regardless of who their teacher is. Learn to appreciate the beauty in the various styles and set the politics aside."

With that Peter introduced me to his reel-to-reel tape collection of music he accumulated over his years in India. He gave me free reign to copy anything I wanted and he would also make suggestions of performances he felt I would immediately respond to. (His ability to glean this was uncanny.)

This is something I will always remember: Peter's great respect for other artists. It is one of the most valuable lessons I ever learned in life.

Thank you, Peter.

Today is Guru Purnima, the day when we commemorate the importance of and pay respects to our teacher. It is a time to reflect on the last year and how our teacher has impacted us. In that vein I have I have added a photo of Peter's teacher, Gokul Nag, playing the rudra vin.

While Peter has been gone this past year his influence remains strong. I regularly listen to his music and re-read our correspondence. I also think of the stories he has told me. A favorite is how he came to learn the rudra vin.

His teacher, Gokul Nag ("Gokulbabu" as Peter called him) initially did not want to teach Peter the rudra vin. So Peter, after acquiring his own rudra vin (he traded his motorcycle for it!) would place the instrument in the middle of his room when Gokul Nag would come to visit. A perhaps not so subtle thing but it caught Gokul Nag's attention and finally he told Peter "I will have to teach you or you will play it wrong and people will blame me!"

Peter, I thank you for sharing your knowledge , in the spirit of Gokul Nag, making sure I don't play wrong!

So very sorry to hear of Peter's passing. He was a wonderful and warm teacher and the course I took with him at NEC in the early 70's on Indian music meant a great deal to me as an improvising musician. Once, when he asked me what type of jazz I preferred I answered, "Bebop". To which he replied, "So you like the baroque!" That characterization always stuck with me . He was deeply caring man who will be much missed and I am very grateful to have known him. My deepest condolences to the family.

40-50 years ago I had lunch at a restaurant first located on Mass Ave. (and then later on Huntington Ave.) called the Kyoto. It was extremely unpleasant outside. I hailed a cab to go to the home of Dorothy C. Wallace. The driver was a young long-haired man who had just returned from India. He had dreams of incorporating the Sitar into Western music, bringing back the real experience to the students of Boston and bringing the language into the American sound. (The Beatles were still popular but some of their Indian sounds were on the back burner). This young man excited me so I introduced him to Gunther Schuller and Julia Sutton, Head of Historical Music and Dance at New England Conservatory.

Peter inspired a generation of young musicians producing so many Third Stream concerts including the most notable, East Meets West. He later became the Dean of Students and then Provost. It is he who did so many remarkable things at the Conservatory including saving the Third Stream Department, rebranding it as the Contemporary Improvisation Department.

There was something special about his approach to education. His pleasure when talking about futurism but also thinking backwards. Always with a twinkle in his eye with hopes, dreams, and incredible ambition.
We were friends for many decades even though we were distant at times with work and family commitments. Little did I know when he dropped me at Dorothy Wallaces from a cab so long ago that he would move across the street not long after. But, he moved so often it was hard to keep track of him- New Hampshire, Amherst, and then finally a beautiful spot in Tanglewood where he met and married the wonderful Heather Row.

Peter had an incredible influence on me personally and was an unforgettable person. I know many current students, alums, fellow faculty, and administration from/at NEC feel the same way. I have no doubt that he is dearly missed by many and his memory and his musical and administrative ambition will live on.

It was really hard for me to realize he was gone when I found out. We were such good friends for so long It took me some time. Please give your love and support to the Row family.

Casual acquaintance, applying or current student, longtime friend, colleague, passer-by, homeless, etc. didnt seem to matter. Peter Row always had the same warmth, compassion, sympathy, and understanding for everyone he encountered.

Peter was an amazing musician and teacher who Id long to hear play and speak all day and night, but to put it plain, everyone loved him!

He had a twinkle in his eyes that would light up a room and an accompanying smile that would make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. His overall persona, selflessness, and generosity was unexplained magic. He was truly one of a kind who cared so deeply for his family, friends, students, community, and really anyone he came in contact with. He always knew the right thing to say in any situation and pulled you into the conversation regardless of the topic, whether you knew about it or not. Peter was a very rare person whom I miss dearly.

He was an incredibly generous teacher -- with his words and encouragement, and especially with his time. Even though I was probably the millionth violinist he introduced to this music, he helped me feel like I could bring myself to it -- and that it was ok to want to dive into this music as much as I could in the time that I had with it (and to ask other people to play it with me) -- even if it didn't become was I was going to do forever. This all informs my own teaching, of course, and I wish I had gotten more time to work with him and to thank him again.

It was tremendously moving to be at Commencement today and to be a part of the NEC family as we honored Peter together. I cannot imagine our school without his gentle, shining, enlightened spirit. But I trust that his spirit will remain with us and go dancing down the hallways and through the classrooms and into the music we all play as it always has. There is a spot right at the turn as I enter the building to teach, near the Dean's office, just before I wend my way up the stairs to our "flute aerie" on the 3rd floor. That will be Peter's corner for me now, and I'll ask his blessing each time I pass it. Sending much love......

Peter was a great colleague and friend, a hugely supportive mentor for me as Chair of Liberal Arts. He went above and beyond to make important contributions to everything we worked on. Peter had the perfect combination of personal qualities; he was tough, sharp, fair, and kind. His students in his Liberal Arts electives absolutely loved him; they were fascinated by the way he brought his personal experiences into the classroom to make his subjects come alive. The word they most used to describe him was "wonderful." We'll all miss him so much.

Peter was a gem of a man. He hired me way back in 1993 as a part-time Coordinator of International Student Services, and was warm, friendly, and supportive from Day 1 - he truly made me feel a part of the NEC community, even though I am not a musician. Over the past few years we worked together to support students in their Fulbright applications, and he always went above and beyond to help students show themselves in the best possible light. He will be truly missed.

Peter Row will always be with me in my musical journey. He will live on in the spirit of Indian music that we shared with such love and devotion. Peter changed my life many years ago when he invited me, a young inexperienced tabla player, to practice together. He helped to shape my accompaniment and taught me so much about the intimate connection between music and life. Peter will live on in the memories of all those who came to know him, hear him play, take one of his classes, and share social time. God bless Peter, Heather, and Andrew.

Peter and I lived in the same town for 6 years before we finally met. We hit it off immediately and were amazed at how many things we had in common. Peter turned me on to archery and we had a lot of fun shooting arrows. Peter and Heather came over and played whist with Nancy and me, and we looked forward to doing that a lot.

I was always somewhat interested in Indian music and he helped me to understand so much more about it. We started to explore a really interesting blend of Jazz French Horn and Indian Ragas, which I now have no idea how to continue.

Peter was one of the first people I met when my husband and I moved to Heath two years ago. He was taking in a fine spring day in mid-May on an afternoon walk with James Koyama, and both paused by my house as I was the garden, looking about semi-haplessly. Peter was generous with his time from the beginning, pausing the walk beyond a simple welcome to town, to share his enthusiasm for Heath and to advise me about the fickleness of Heathen springs and the possibility of frost before June 1. I would meet him again, this time with Heather Row, a couple weeks later at the farmers market on the green. Though we met again several times more, and I became friends with Heather, my husband Scott and I were still in the process of getting to know Peter when he passed. We were glad to experience one of his musical performances last summer. More recently we enjoyed having him and Heather over for a mid-winter tea for an enthusiastic discussion about his plans to go to Portugal (and possibly India) and his interest in Goan musical roots. Looking back to that late January day, Peter showed incredible strength and purpose, extending his stay by probably 20 minutes too many, trying to take in the barrage of photos, books, conversation and information on Portugal. As he joins loved ones who went before him, and awaits those family and friends who remain here, I hope he gets as much Goan music, history and Portuguese experience as he desires, unbounded by the earthly logical limits of time and space.

I have known Peter for 40 years and he has been one of the most important people in my life. He was a magnificent musician, scholar and cross-cultural explorer but perhaps more than that, an inspiration and wonderful teacher for countless students over the decades. His knowledge and his depth of understanding were of course important parts of what he brought to others, but perhaps more importantly and lasting were his generosity of spirit, his patience and a genuineness in helping others to find their own inspiration and joy in learning.

Peter's humanity and his gentle ways were always palpable and his support in helping others find their way cannot easily be found.

Farewell my friend, my teacher and ten thousand mountains of gratitude for all you have so beautifully shared with me.

I met Peter through his wife Heather who had become my friend after buying lamb from me at the farmers market in Heath. We started talking music and the traveling life we both shared and loved, the pleasure of going to the city to be a musician and then coming back here to paradise on the farm. I introduced Peter to John Clark, our jazz French horn player-neighbor who lived nearby, commuting to NY to teach and play, and they also became friends. Although our music was very different, we played some gigs together, and I felt like I had found a kinship in the two of them. Peter was an amazing musician but never held himself above me, always supportive and interested in the day-to-day goings on of my music world and the farm. I appreciated him so much for that, and loved hearing his stories of India and hearing him (and watching him) play the ragas. I not only will miss him as a musician and friend, but especially will miss his happy countenance, his sense of humor, and his thoughtful observations on life.

Peter has been my teacher since September 1973 when I lived in Boston. Peter enjoyed recounting the time, during my first lesson, when I pointed a finger at him and solemnly assured him "I'll be better than you in six months!" We always got a good laugh out of that!

We had gone though many fine adventures together. Driving from Boston to New York and back to Boston in a day to see a Nikhil Banerjee concert held at his brother's loft. Driving to Washington DC to see Vilayat Khan and for Peter to present a paper on ICM. Attending a private house concert of Asad Ali Khan that went on several hours. Travelling to Kolkata and him arranging lessons for me with his teacher, Gokul Nag, as well as arranging for Naskar to make my first custon sitar.

Later I sought his permission to study rudra vin. Peter agreed with enthusiasm and my rudra vin lessons went on these past 10 years in person and by email, shared videos and phone calls. Peter was tremendously generous with his time and wonderfully supportive.

I will miss our talks and emails about instruments, music and philosophy. I will miss his sense of humor and his quick wit. Most of all I will miss his guidance and encouragement.

Of course, we all know Peter was a consummate musician, dressed beautifully, and was at all times, with a wry sense of humor, decorous. This, however, would be a regrettably incomplete picture. When I visited my sister, Heather, and brother-in-law, Peter, in Massachusetts a few years ago, Peter offered to take me out to lunch. Something local, he said. Which turned out to be the Wahoo Burger, a charmingly eccentric roadside restaurant around which picnic tables had been set. We each got our Wahoo Burger and fries, and sat in the sun and ate, and Peter with an especial delight. A world class musician and international traveler who could enjoy a Wahoo Burger. Birdsong. Mowing the lawn on his riding mower. Who took delight in life. He will be sorely missed.

I met Peter a couple of years ago, when Heather started coming to the Heath Union Church, where I am the Minister. Peter decided to come too and we quickly took a liking to each other. Both of us had spent a substantial part of our formative years in Asia, he in South Asia and I in South East Asia. And when we were together, it felt like we came from the same place. We walked together on many a summer day, talking about the church, about Christian theology and about Hindu Philosophy. Peter had an impressive resume, but I never felt intimidated. We were just two souls, happy to be alive, walking and talking our way down a country road, amazed by the wonder of it all. What could be better than that? "The fellowship of kindred hearts is like to that above." I will miss you Peter.
