“Anyone who had the honor and pleasure of sharing the stage with him knows that simply watching him work was a Masterclass in itself: pure heart, fiery passion, terrifying truth, and fearlessness – all on display, every moment he was out there,” read a statement from Siebert’s artistic director Jared Sakren and former artistic director Craig A. Miller. “He was not only a consummate artist, he was a mentor to those who worked with him.”
