John Metz
John Metz (1944–2016) joined the music faculty at ASU in 1980 and for the next 24 years taught piano and harpsichord and built an early-music program in Baroque performance techniques. Early retirement in 2004 allowed him and his wife to move to Waterford, Connecticut, where they set up a private school for talented cellists and pianists, and he began composing. The response to his output has been rewarding as shown by the success of Anthony's Cosmic Adventures, which premiered in December, 2014. The Metz's returned to Arizona and reside in Gold Canyon.
