Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
All of us at Theater League are so shocked and saddened by this loss. Our hearts go out to Mitch’s friends, families and co-workers at the WSO and Century II. For so many years, he was the man who made things happen when it came to classical music in Wichita. A friendly, creative, first class performing arts professional, Mitch will be sorely missed.
Mitch was brilliant, funny, and talented; a great mentor and friend. His passing is a profound loss, not just to those who knew him personally, but also to the entire community – which was enriched immeasurably by his dedication to classical music. My deepest sympathies to his family, and to the staff and musicians of the WSO, at this very sad time.
My deepest sympathy goes out to the WSO community, I always felt privileged doing business with Mitch and loved his sense of humor. He will be missed greatly by all who knew him.
