Plane crash wipes out family of musicians
A British family of musicians died in the small plane that crashed near the Simplon Hospice last Sunday.
According to a statement from international media reports, the dead are the saxophonist Hannah Marcinowicz, the composer Jonathan Goldstein and their seven-month-old daughter.
The cause of the crash is not yet known. The two were apparently flying from London to Troyes and Lausanne, with Italy as their destination.
Goldstein ran a company for advertising jingles and wrote music for theater and film. Hannah Marcinowicz performed as a soloist at the BBC Proms in 2005 and has worked with orchestras such as the London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
