Morton Gold

Morton Gold (CFA’53,’60) of Springvale, Maine, writes, “I noticed no inclusion of alumni from the 1950s in a recent Bostonia. While there may not be many of us around, this one is—and still is active. Among my accomplishments: composition of a trumpet concerto in spring 2022 and a performance of it, and vocal music at the Sanford-Springvale Historical Society in September, and conducting the Strafford Wind Symphony in a new work at the Sanford Performing Arts Center in December.” Morton’s clarinet concerto was performed at Andrews University in March 2023, and he performed his vocal and choral music at Grace Cathedral in Rutland, Vt., in April. The next month, he guest conducted the Biddeford alumni band and the Sanford High School band and chorus in their performances of his music. Morton is the organist at St. George’s Episcopal Church in Sanford and Etz Chaim synagogue in Biddeford. He celebrated his 90th birthday in June.
