Death of Bruce I. Miller

It is with great sadness that we wish to inform the Holy Cross community of the death of Bruce I. Miller, director of the College Choir and Chamber Singers and professor in the music department. Professor Miller died unexpectedly at his home last week.

A memorial service is being planned on campus for the beginning of the fall semester. The service will celebrate Professor Miller's many contributions to his students and to the entire Holy Cross community. The date of this event will be announced in the very near future.

We ask that you keep Bruce Miller and his family in your prayers.

A member of the Holy Cross music department faculty since 1975, Miller dedicated nearly 30 years of his life to Holy Cross. During his tenure at the College, Miller led the College Choir and Chamber Singers in concerts with the Boston Pops and Kenny Rogers. In 1989, he led their performance in the Vatican before Pope John Paul II. A musicologist and expert on Gilbert and Sullivan, Miller received worldwide attention in 1999 for his discovery of a missing song from Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore. The song was first performed before audiences by the Arlington Players last October.
