Performance of movements of Five Songs from James Joyce by John Heiss with NEC alums and students. More information here: https://necmusic.edu/events/john-heiss-memorial-concert.

I was incredibly lucky to have had many classes and coachings with Mr Heiss, from solo to chamber pieces, including his beloved Schoenberg Pierrot Lunaire. It’s hard for me to articulate the profound, private sense of loss and sadness I feel at his passing, mingled as it is with gratitude for the memory of his amazing knowledge, warmth, and wit, and regret not to have had more time to know him better. These many other tributes describe his legacy better than I ever can: https://necmusic.edu/news/honor-late-john-heiss-beloved-nec-faculty-member.
