ROBERT MUSIKER Obituary

MUSIKER--Robert. The Board of Trustees and staff of The Joyce Theater mourn the passing of Robert ("Bob") Musiker, who served the organization for six years with wisdom, wit, and generosity. A devoted friend and supporter of the dance community, Bob brought his passion and zeal for life to The Joyce Theater and its programs. Bob was a tremendous advocate for the organization's education and outreach initiatives, leading its Education Committee since its inception. In 2024, The Joyce was proud to honor Bob at its gala, recognizing his dedication to dance, dance education, and his lifelong love of drumming and Jazz. His kindness, humor, and warmth will be profoundly missed by all. We extend our sincerest condolences to his wife Sharon, his brother Jimmy, his son Jake, their families, and loved ones. Charles M. Adelman, Board Chair Linda Shelton, Executive Director

Earlier today

I only recently met Robert when I joined The Joyce Family in 2022. He was always so cordial and warm. I am struck by the memory of him dancing the night away at our 2024 Gala Afterparty at Tao. He will be missed. Sending my sincerest condolences to his friends and family, and all who knew and loved him.
