I'm receiving updates from Connie Mueller-Goedecke of Avantart. She is a friend of Peter Kowald. Here is the message I received today: ******* Peter Kowald died September 21, 2002 after a concert with Kazu Uchihashi in Williamsburg, Brooklyn because of a strong heart attack. I cannot believe it and I miss him already. Peter was a wonderful person, friend and extraordinary musician.
