Kathy Cochran, friend of the Bay Area early music community for more than three decades, passed away last Saturday, January 20, following a struggle with an aggressive cancer. Kathy was a generous supporter of SFEMS and attended many of our workshops over the years, as well as those of our affiliates. She was a dedicated and skilled player of recorder, bassoon, curtal, shawm, and other early reed instruments. We will miss her and offer our condolences to her many friends.
