Today, ECS Publishing Group mourns and honors beloved composer Leo Nestor, who passed away on Sunday.
Leo Nestor has been a fixture of E.C. Schirmer’s catalog since 1990. Primarily a composer of choral music, Nestor has published dozens of works through E.C. Schirmer and MorningStar Music Publishers, as well as Oxford University Press, GIA Publications, CanticaNova Publications, and several other publishers.
Nestor served in several educational roles at The Catholic University of America’s Benjamin T. Rome School of Music, including Director of Choral Studies and Director of the Institute of Sacred Music, among others. In addition to his teaching, Nestor was a much sought-after advisor, offering his knowledge and skills to the Conference of Roman Catholic Cathedral Musicians, the Secretariat for Divine Worship, and the international Comitato d’Onore jury.
