Bruce Coppock Obituary, Death – The SPCO former President, Bruce Coppock, passed away earlier today after a long and arduous battle with cancer. I am writing to inform you of this terrible news today with a heavy heart because I know it will have a profound impact on you. Bruce led the SPCO from 1999 to 2008 and again from 2013 to 2016. In the SPCO’s 63-year history, he held the record for the longest tenure of any executive leader, which was the longest tenure of any executive leader. No other word can adequately describe the magnitude of Bruce’s impact on the SPCO as it currently stands.

Bruce is responsible for the inception of the musician-led artistic model, which is supplemented by artistic collaborators. This was made possible by Bruce’s innovative thinking and foresight. This daring new innovation reimagined the SPCO’s artistic potential and allowed orchestra members to fully express their own creative potential in ways never before possible. Bruce believed that if they used a model in which musicians were in charge, the community performances would be more interesting and exciting. I am aware that seeing how well this model turned out after Kyu directed its development gave him a great deal of satisfaction, and I am aware of this fact.

Bruce was also a driving force behind the development and completion of the Concert Hall Campaign, which provided the SPCO with an aesthetically pleasing and acoustically superior home. As a result of Bruce’s efforts, the SPCO now has a home that is both aesthetically pleasing and acoustically superior. His most significant and long-lasting contribution was to instill in our culture a strong willingness to challenge the orthodoxy of the orchestra field, as well as a strong bias for innovation. This was his most significant accomplishment.

This was his most significant and significant contribution. In his role as leader, Bruce followed a simple and straightforward strategy: act bravely and fearlessly regardless of the situation. He was well aware that in order for the SPCO to be successful over a longer period of time, it would need to constantly adapt, change, and come up with new ideas. Bruce possessed a powerful intellect, a deep love of music, and an unusually large heart for a man of his stature.
