The Peter Row Memorial Concert was held in the New England Conservatory of Music's Jordan Hall on September 20, 2018 to honor this remarkable musician, scholar, teacher and friend. The program reflected Peter's wide ranging musical interests.

Artists performing at the concert included sarodist George Ruckert, pianist Ran Blake, vocalist Dominique Eade, the Borromeo String Quartet, percussionist Jerry Leake, sitarist Andrew Row, and NEC alumni including Sarah Atwood, Utsav Lal, composer and jazz hornist John Clark, and Scott Halligan.

While Peter passed on April 2, 2018, his impact and presence on those who knew him will always remain.

The full program with embedded audio files for both the speakers and music follow. A Memorial Concert was also held at the Heath Union Church in July of 2018. The concert program and audio files will be made available shortly.
