I’ve had to do a lot of reflecting and a fair amount of crying today. Blair School of Music — my alma mater — lost a brother today. Sang Han left us some time this morning or last night. I call him a brother because, although I regret that I didn’t know him better, Blair is a family. Some people we become closer to than others, but at the end of the day I feel that we all share a unique bond with each other, whether we spent hours together in the Blounge or never said anything more than “hi” in the hallways.  I still remember every class I was in with Sang and many of the concerts he played in orchestra, ensembles, or as a soloist. I remember so many conversations I had with him, even the time I accidentally asked him and another clarinetist to play the same part in the same piece.  He was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met and an incredibly talented musician. He had so much more of his story to tell and so much more to share with the world. 

Today I wish I was there to mourn with my Blair family. I miss them, I’ll miss Sang, I’m there in spirit, and I’m sure there will be many more times over the years I’ll have to stop myself and remember that he is gone. This song is dedicated to Sang and to the rest of my Blair family. It’s the only way I can make sense of this tragic loss right now. I hope that we can all find answers and peace in the coming days. And to Sang, I hope you find rest.

Rest In Peace, Sang.
