Freyda Epstein was killed Saturday. Apparently she was driving to Charlottesville when a car, driven by someone eluding the police, crossed the midline and struck her car head on, killing both her and the fleeing driver.
A memorial service will apparently be held in Charlottesville later this week.
Freyda is remembered by many for her rich and amazingly versatile voice, expressive singing, and wonderful fiddling. She was a teacher of the Alexander Method. She was also a person who enriched the lives of those lucky enough to call her friend with her wisdom and humor. Since her days with Trapezoid she had pursued a number of musical directions and studied speech pathology. She had moved to the San Francisco Bay area for some years.>>
