Raymond Neevel | 1922–2004

On April 14, all of us associated with the Los Angeles Master Chorale lost a dear friend, a committed advocate and a generous supporter. Ray Neevel joined the Chorale’s Board of Directors in 1986 and served two terms; he was re-elected in 1998 and served until his death. Ray’s personal vision for the Chorale’s success and his dedication to its growth were a beacon for his fellow Directors. His enlightened generosity set the standard for others to follow. We will greatly miss his thoughtful, intelligent and quiet enthusiasm for the Master Chorale.
