We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Sylvia Blair, a cherished friend and family member of the El Paso Symphony Orchestra (EPSO). Sylvia was born and raised in El Paso and graduated from Burges High School. She earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Texas at El Paso.

During her remarkable 44-year tenure (1977-2021) as a violinist with EPSO, Sylvia toured Germany and Turkey. Additionally, she taught at EPISD and performed with the Las Cruces Symphony and the El Paso Opera. Sylvia was a kind, lovely, and beautiful person both inside and out. We shared countless memories with her and feel truly blessed to have known her. We extend our heartfelt condolences to her husband, Bruce, and to her family during this difficult time.
