DR. ROBERT ARTHUR WHITE

So many years since I was in your C.A.M. proof when I was in college around 1980. I don't know if anyone will read this now, so many years later. But it is late at night, and I lie awake thinking fondly of my time in your group when I was just 17 or 18 I think, and in college. Your spiritual, kind directorship ship was so precious to me. You encouraged me musically, let me write a little mini play for our performance, and showed me every kindness, which I really needed because my high school...

Dr. White was an amazing musician and conductor at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. He taught me how to truly enjoy and appreciate the art of singing and sharing that art with others. He was also a kind and gentle soul. He will be truly missed.

Dr. White was an outstanding teacher, kind friend, and generous early music mentor to me and many other music students @ UMassLowell. My condolences to his family.

My heart goes out to the Family of Dr. White. I am so indebted to him for his expanding my horizons in WEstern music from Josquin to HIndemith. He was also fun to talk to outside of class. I'll never gorget the "sogeto cavato" he creqated using my name. Thank you forever, Dr Robert White.

An amazing man, mentor, musician, and educator. I learnt so much from this man, about music and life. Whenever I travel over or through Innsbruck, I recall his smile, love of the music, and warmth as a conductor. He made me long for a place I had never been to and a place I didn't know I would long for later in life.
Godspeed, Dr White.

Bob and Marilyn White were amazing, amazing neighbors and friends to my family. I will always remember Bob's humor, optimism, boundless love of music (he hummed constantly as I was growing up) and most of all, his humility and humanity. I cannot emphasize enough how much the Whites influenced my childhood. I was the quiet, shy kid next door, so they probably had no idea how powerful their example was for me. I will forever remember and be grateful for the time Bob waltzed my giggling mother...
