Gregg Smith, the renowned composer and conductor passed away on July 12, 2016.

He worked very closely with Igor Stravinsky and is closely associated with recording and performing the music of Heinrich Schütz, Giovanni Gabrieli, and Charles Ives.
Gregg Smith was a prolific composer himself but championed the works of dozens of contemporary composers throughout his career. The memorial service will feature former members of the Gregg Smith Singers, Long Island Symphonic Choral Association (LISCA), and the Choir of Saint Peter’s Church.
