Richard Giese
Richard William Giese (30 April 1924 – 23 February 2010) was a New Zealand flautist[1] and principal flautist with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra from 1962 to 1986.[2][3]
He taught many flautists, including Ingrid Culliford[4] and Marya Martin. He was previously married to Myra Giese.
Giese, who had remained mentally sharp and fiercely independent, was found dead on 8 March 2010, having died of a heart attack around two weeks earlier.[1][5] The coroner criticised the retirement home Giese lived in and said that it was "unacceptable that a person may lie deceased in their home for some weeks".[3]
