Adam Abeshouse, a beloved musician, died on Thursday, according to NPR . He was 63. The cause of death was bile duct cancer, which the revered producer was diagnosed with earlier in 2024.

Abeshouse was a revered figure in the classical music community and was awarded at the Grammys several times for his contributions to the genre. He earned three Grammys: Producer of the Year, Classical (2000); Best Instrumental Soloist Performance without orchestra (2008, for Garrick Ohlsson’s Beethoven Sonatas, Vol. 3 ); and Best Classical Instrumental Solo (2023, for Time for Three’s Letter for the Future ).

In his final days, Abeshouse was treated to a special in-home concert from many of his friends, peers and collaborators.

“This is more than I could have ever dreamed,” Abeshouse told NPR after the moving performance. “All these musicians are coming to play for me. It’s kind of a miracle.”

He will be laid to rest at Mount Eden Cemetery in Hawthorne, New York, on Saturday, per a message his brother David submitted to The Wheatley School Alumni Association Newsletter .
