It is with great sadness that
we have to report that our former chairman, Arthur Mould,
died on 7th November 2008 after a long illness. Any number
of words would fail to describe Arthur's long time contribution
to the Dudley International Piano Competition. He pursued
a vision to see this major musical event revitalized and developed
to the point it is today and he did so with unfailing wisdom,
charm and a quiet demeanour which was mightily reassuring
to those who worked with him. Although not a musician he had
a comprehensive knowledge of performances and performers borne
of a life-time of concert attendance and record collecting.
There was little I could catch him out on! The 2009 competition
will be the first to engage the services of a major international
symphony orchestra for the finals. We are only too sorry that
Arthur isn't around to see this wonderful realization of his
vision.
John Humphreys
Chairman
