Terese (Terrie) Stewart was a pianist for our MahlerFest Chamber/Lieder recitals beginning with MahlerFest IX, in 1996. Terrie braved several bouts of cancer but succumbed in April, 2002. Just a few months earlier, in January 2002, she and baritone Patrick Mason performed an outstanding, luminous, deeply moving "Winterreise", Franz Schubert's hauntingly beautiful song cycle of a disappointed lover. Sadly, that was Terrie's last concert. Dauntless to the end, Terrie decided to establish a scholarship fund at the CU College of Music, in honor of her own piano teacher, Beckie Reeder Arnold.

Colorado MahlerFest honors Terrie's memory by dedicating the annual Chamber/Lieder concerts to her, and by making available a 3-CD set featuring some of Terrie's memorable performances at the MahlerFest chamber recitals. The 3 CDs in the set contain:
  • CD-1: Songs by Gustav Mahler
  • CD-2: Related Songs by Other Composers
  • CD-3: Franz Schubert, Winterreise
In addition to Terrie, other performers are Patrick Mason, mezzo-soprano Lucille Beer, and several talented CU graduate students.
