Roll Call Scribe's Father Dies in Israel

Our deepest condolences to Roll Call‘s Shira Toeplitz, who lost her father this week. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that Gideon Toeplitz died Sunday night in his sleep in Israel. He was born in Tel Aviv. He was 66.

Toeplitz ran the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra from 1987 to 2003. During his employment, he signed on Marvin Hamlisch as conductor. Music was in his blood. His father, Uri, was a principle flutist in the Israeli Philharmonic. He, too, played flute and was skilled enough to substitute for his father.
