With deep fondness, Sun Valley Summer Symphony remembers Carl Eberl
The Wood River Valley lost a friend and a pioneer when Carl Eberl, founder of the Sun Valley Summer Symphony, passed away March 21, 2012.
The Sun Valley Summer Symphony, founded by Eberl and his wife, Julianne, grew from humble origins 28 years ago into the largest privately funded free-admission orchestra in the United States.
"Carl was more than a musical polymath, though his prodigious gifts as conductor, composer, player, arranger and teacher speak for themselves," said Sun Valley Summer Symphony Music Director Alasdair Neale, who took Eberl's position 18 years ago. "He was a force of nature. Lest we ever take for granted the amazing phenomenon that is the Sun Valley Summer Symphony today, we should never forget that it was Carl who made it all possible. Without his extraordinary vision, dedication and ability to move mountains, the festival quite simply would not exist. I will miss him greatly."
