Joseph Silverstein

Joseph Silverstein: Meadowmount is saddened by the news that we have lost Joseph Silverstein. He was our friend, our supporter and our mentor. He brought to us a sense of joy in music-making and a spirit of honest camaraderie. We will miss him terribly but will forever treasure what he gave us.
