Thank you all for your many kind and touching messages. I appreciate them more than I can say!! And I am overwhelmed by all the wonderful words about Mark! He was truly remarkable and I have been truly blessed to have known him and shared his journey for more than 20 years!

It is with great sadness we report that San Francisco Bay Area composer and conductor, Dr. Mark Alburger, passed away yesterday afternoon, June 20, 2023, at his home in Vacaville, after an extended illness. He is survived by his partner and wife, Harriet March Page, and by his mother, Bette Alburger, his sister, Sorrel Ann Alburger, and his son, Cliff Alburger.

Born April 2, 1957 in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, Dr. Alburger was an eclectic American composer of postminimal, postpopular, and postcomedic sensibilities. He played oboe in Philadelphia and Delaware County Youth Orchestras (the latter in association with George Crumb, Richard Wernick, and George Rochberg), and studied composition with Karl Kohn (Pomona College, 1978); Gerald Levinson and Joan Panetti (Swarthmore College, B.A., 1979); Thomas Wubbenhorst (Weber State University, 1983); Jules Langert (Dominican University of California, M.A., 1991); Roland Jackson, Thomas Flaherty, and Christopher Yavelow (Claremont Graduate University, Ph.D., 1996); and Terry Riley (1997-1999).

Dr. Alburger was Founder and Music Director of the San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra (SFCCO), Music Director and Resident Composer of San Francisco Cabaret Opera / Goat Hall Productions (SFCCO/GHP), Editor-Publisher of 21st-Century Music Journal, and Music Critic for Commuter Times and San Francisco Classical Voice.

A memorial concert will be held later this year with details of the event to be sent out closer to that date. Condolences for the family may be directed to Harriet March Page at [email protected]
