Read MoreI sang with Ann Arbor Cantata Singers in 1981-83. Today, I was listening to the Mozart Great C minor Mass, and remembered our 1981 performance, and Dr Bloom's super effective and efficient rehearsals. So I looked him up hoping to send him an email thanking him for 40 years of joy listening to the music he introduced me to. Hopefully this gets to him via whatever forwarding address is available.

I first sang under Brad at Interlochen in 1968, he was assisting Mr. Mayer with the HS Choir, and 'Uncle Ken' Jewell with Operetta workshop. He was a pretty fun guy then, not as serious as later. Next, in 1970,I believe, he was the music director for the U of M G and S Society, we did 'Pirates of Penzance', the legendary Roger Wertenberger was the overall director, Roger was the zaniest, most creative director the G and S society ever had, and this Pirates was one of his best. I think Brad...

What an outstanding musician, teacher and human being. I sang with the Ann Arbor Cantata Singers under Brad's direction for several years. I use many of Brad's techniques to this day. We remained friends when I moved from A2 to Detroit. He's undoubtedly directing one of God's choirs in Heaven at this very moment.
