Michael Lasserson Memorial

Michael Lasserson, who was for many years a Bass player in the DSO, sadly passed away last year and he is greatly missed by all who knew him. A fund has been set up to place an inscription of Michael’s name on the Foundation Wall as a Foundation Fellow of the new headquarters of the Royal College of General Practitioners. This will commemorate Michael’s contributions to general practice, medical writing and the many orchestras that he belonged to. Email here if you wish to contribute to this fund.

A celebration for the life of Michael Lasserson will be held at the Royal Academy of Music on October 21st and Nadia and her family and friends will be delighted to welcome everyone who wishes to join. Please email nadia lasserson for further details.
