In Memorium
Michael Nutt 1930-2008.
The Whidbey Island music community lost a truly brilliant and gifted
mentor and advocate when Michael Nutt passed on March 28th at the age of 78 from cancer. Michael was an inspirational
violinist and teacher, who worked passionately and tirelessly to create and nurture a vibrant, thriving culture
of performing arts in our South Whidbey community. We will sorely miss his inspiration, humor, energy, graciousness, and
vision. All of the teachers and students at Island Strings who have benefitted immeasurebly from Michael's inspiration,
extend our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to his family.
