In Memoriam

66064_1.jpg


It is with deep sadness that I write this evening that Olga Diaz, mother to my dear friend and fellow Babalusian, Michael Pancier, passed away this morning. Olga was an incredible talent, a pianist like no other, who lived for music and loved the music of her beloved Cuba.

While being a wife and mother, Olga studied and received her degree from the University of Miami. She later went on to become a well-known and respected pianist playing alongside world-renowned musicians such as Rene Touzet. Loved by her family and friends, she will be incredibly missed.

To Michael, my heart and prayers go out to you today my friend. Just rest assured that there is beautiful music being played in heaven tonight. God bless.
