Rouse advised the Baltimore Symphony, served as composer in residence for the New York Phil, taught at Juilliard and Peabody, and won a Pulitzer in 1993 for a concerto dedicated to Leonard Bernstein. Rouse’s final symphony will debut in Cincinnati in October. Marin Alsop called his death an “enormous loss” and said, “I was able to spend time with him these last weeks and he was irreverent and profound, as always.” – Baltimore Sun
