RIP Francis McBeth
I had the incredible opportunity to take 5 conducting lessons with Francis McBeth. They were a wonderful experience and I learned so much. We were not best friends, merely acquaintances, but today my heart mourns his loss. RIP W. Francis McBeth.

Re: RIP Francis McBeth
He came to my HS twice to conduct and I do not remember a more musical experience. He was also a wonderful human being who could get on anyone's level, even mine. I nearly went to Ouachita soley because of him. He will be missed.
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.
