Dr. John McLain Rinehart, composer, concert pianist and professor, died peacefully at age 72 surrounded by family and loved ones on Tuesday, August 4th in Atlanta, GA. He will be remembered by family and those close to him for his dry wit, huge smile and enormous appetite for living life to its fullest, but most importantly to him he will be forever remembered for his legacy as a truly gifted composer of modern classical works ranging from the piano to symphony orchestra, and as a gloriously talented and electric classical concert pianist.
