Remembering Longtime Houston Violinist and Professor Fredell Lack (1922-2017)
“Miss Lack was a world-class musician, an extraordinary teacher, and an exemplary humanitarian,” said former student David Wallace, a violinist-violist, composer and teacher. “She played no small role in building what would become the University of Houston’s Moores School of Music and in mentoring several generations of string players.” Besides Huang, Lack also taught violinists David Mazzeo, Pálína Árnadóttir, Joyce Hammann, Mariko Inaba, Anabel Ramirez, Gloria Justen, Sharman Plesner, William Pu, Gregory Ewer, Beverly Shin, Maurice Sklar, Martin Valdeschack, Chuong Vu, and Zuo Jun.
