In Memoriam: Eugene Dowling

Eugene Dowling, principal tubist with the Victoria Symphony and professor at the University of Victoria (British Columbia), recently passed away after a two-year battle with cancer. The Times Colonist newspaper has a nice story about Dowling, which is available at this link: http://www.timescolonist.com/news/local/victoria-s-tuba-king-succumbs-to-cancer-1.1986511

In honor of Dowling's tremendous legacy in the tuba and euphonium community, please consider donating to the Eugene Dowling Scholarship Fund at the University of Victoria. The purpose of this fund is to support and inspire future generations of students passionate about studying tuba or euphonium in UVic's School of Music.
