With host Robert Samels
 Cantabile’s
late host and producer Robert Samels was lost in an airplane
accident in Bloomington, Indiana on April 20, 2006. His
voice, talent, and gentle spirit are greatly missed by the
staff of WFIU as well as by his many fans.
His last programs, “Voices of the Past” and “Vocal
Music of the Second Viennese School,” never aired.
They will, however, be archived online along with all Cantabile
episodes.
Robert
Samels Memorial Fund
The staff of WFIU would like to ensure that Robert's memory
stays with us for years to come. We've started the Robert
Samels Memorial Fund and we invite you to join us. View
letter. Voluntary
contributions can be made on our secure
Website, by mailing in our paper
form, or by calling (812) 855-1357.
You
may have also known Robert as a student, singer, composer,
conductor, and a musicologist. The loss to all of us is
immeasurable. His voice will always remain with us, as will
the superb Cantabile series he produced for WFIU.
Our
thoughts
go out to those who were most near to him.
