We are sorry to announce that Robert Pascall, Emeritus Professor of Music at the University of Nottingham, has recently passed away.

Nicholas Baragwanath, head of the Department of Music, paid tribute to Professor Pascall, saying:

“Robert was a superb colleague, a first-rate scholar, and a wonderful friend to the Department. His contribution over many years was immense. We owe him a great deal.

“After his retirement, he regularly popped in to say hello, and I and others enjoyed many fascinating chats with him – especially about Brahms.

“He will be sorely missed by everyone in the Department.”

A funeral will take place at 12.30pm, Wednesday 4 July 2018 at St Mary’s Church Clifton Hall Drive, Holgate, Clifton, Nottingham, NG11 8NH.

All are welcome to join a reception afterwards at 2.30pm, at the Nottingham University Music Department, University Boulevard, NG7 2RD.

Update: A memorial concert will take place on Wednesday 15 May 2019 at the Djanogly Recital Hall, Lakeside Arts. Tickets can be booked from Lakeside Arts.
