It is with great sadness that we have to report that our former chairman, Arthur Mould, died on 7th November 2008 after a long illness. Any number of words would fail to describe Arthur's long time contribution to the Dudley International Piano Competition. He pursued a vision to see this major musical event revitalized and developed to the point it is today and he did so with unfailing wisdom, charm and a quiet demeanour which was mightily reassuring to those who worked with him. Although not a musician he had a comprehensive knowledge of performances and performers borne of a life-time of concert attendance and record collecting. There was little I could catch him out on! The 2009 competition will be the first to engage the services of a major international symphony orchestra for the finals. We are only too sorry that Arthur isn't around to see this wonderful realization of his vision.

John Humphreys

Chairman
