Celebrating the life of Catherine Byrd

It is with great sadness that we share the loss of Catherine Byrd. Catherine was Nan's steadfast partner for over 35 years and it is a great personal loss for Nan. Catherine was also the backbone of our Michigan Philharmonic staff serving as our Bookkeeper and Office Manager. She was extremely vigilant about our finances-always making sure our budget was in order and we could pay our bills! This memorial fund is a great way to honor Catherine's memory while helping to keep the Michigan Philharmonic in good financial shape so Nan and the musicians can keep making great music together for many more years to come!
