Irwin I. Eisenberg

Irv was a kind, wonderful man and an outstanding violinist. I was lucky to have had him for a teacher.

We were blessed to have Irving in the Pacific Northwest.

I was so fortunate to have Irv as my violin teacher during high school and college and receive instruction through Chamber music Madness. He was incredibly patient, kind, and always kept a light energy with a sprinkle of humor about himself. I was always amazed by his great talent and humility. I truly appreciated knowing him and Teresa and admired their beautiful marriage. His music plays on through all that he did and in the many lives that he touched. Thank you Irv, may you rest in peace.

My daughters and I were so fortunate to know Irv and Teresa through our friendship with Mary and Cyrus and Nicholas Noe. Irv was always so kind and thoughtful. He and Teresa were devoted to each other and were a model of a wonderful marriage. Kitty Burke and Erin and Rachel Burke Peterson

I was lucky enough to have received a few private violin lessons from Irv back in the 90's - we would play Bartok together. He was genuine and brilliant.

I spent three summers learning from Irv at the Olympic Music Festival back in the 80's. Irv inspired me not only by his abilities on the violin but by his personal and positive way of coaching music. May God bless his memory.

Irv coached 2 of my children and we will remember him with great fondness. He was very kind and patient. We will miss him!

Irv was a great friend and colleague with a wonderful sense of humor. He was so much fun to be with and always stole the show in skits of all kinds! Great memories - I'll always think of Irv with a smile.

Irv was the consummate teacher, but he was also a world famous performer. Fame was not really his thing though, and he was wonderfully down to earth. He will be hugely missed by all of those whose lives he enriched, including me.
