As we gather in "high summer" to celebrate the life and spirit of a passionate artist, let's build a long, generous table together. Thank you very much for planning to make our tribute-fellowship for Lloyd Arriola a memorable evening.
Late Night Thoughts on Listening... with Lloyd
The evening dedicated to our dear friend Dr. Lloyd Paguia Arriola (August 6, 1972-July 17, 2016) will be a tribute-fellowship instead of a “concert-performance.” It will be heartfelt, “elegiac,” and will build towards uplifting one’s soul. Lloyd believed in music’s ability to do just that. He once suggested a performance of Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony to me in one of his many letters, as an expression of a similar sentiment:
“As for 9/11, well, look, you can still talk about the travel aspect and think of the program, whatever it may be, as a passport to greater things, to heavenly things. I don't know what program would be both elegiac and heroic simultaneously, but something with Beethoven 6th (Pastoral=rest=peace after turbulence) would be beautiful...”
The significance of Fidelio in Lloyd’s life is very personal, I look forward to sharing it with you in person. Lloyd was one of the very few with whom I had long correspondence. I cherish our collaborations, the letters, meals, our friendship, and Late Night Thoughts on Listening...
If artists are judged by how they treat their neighbors, he was one of the greatest I have ever known. He continues to teach us about life and true living with passion and purpose. He was more than a mensch. He was a doctor who healed through the power of music and laughter, a humanitarian committed to social justice and building bridges instead of walls, and a devoted friend and brother who made everyone he touched feel special, cared for, and loved.
Lloyd has inspired me then. He still does today.
