ROBERT COWART Obituary

COWART--Robert. The Metropolitan Opera mourns the death of Bob Cowart, the Director of Language Studies for the company's Lindemann Young Artist Development Program. Since the program's inception in 1981, Bob had worked with young singers to perfect their linguistic skills and prepare them for professional careers. His gentle manner and contagious love for languages created a positive learning experience and made him a beloved coach and teacher. We offer our sincere condolences to his family, friends, and the many current and former students who remember him fondly. Peter Gelb, General Manager Yannick Nezet-Seguin, Music Director

What a gentleman he was. Unendlingly kind in his critiques, though clear as could be. I have thought of him often, and that which he taught me, and his guidance will live on.

I will always cherish my quality time with "professore" - he helped me in preparation of several operas I conducted and was always available to answer any questions at any time - a true mentor and a true mensch - Stephen Sulich

Bob was as extraordinarily gifted as a teacher as he was beloved for his abundant kindness and humor. He'll live on in all our memories, and his legacy will be the many singers who benefited from his coaching.
