WATERBURY, CT. - Lawrence Norman Jamison, 52, died peacefully at his home in Waterbury on Thursday, Nov. 9, 1989. Several years ago, Mr. Jamison suffered a massive stroke that prevented him from continuing his involvement in Waterbury's cultural community.
He is survived by six brothers-Charles, Newtown Square, PA; Alan, Trumansburg, NY; Ronald, Olympia, WA; Andrew, Fairport, NY; Manuel (Robert), Torrance, CA and Blair, Phoenix, AZ; also three sisters-Mrs. Gorton (Marilyn) Thomas, Parish, NY; Mrs. John (Shirley) Peck, Johnson City, NY and Mrs. Thomas (Barbara) Rice, Indiatlantic, FL. and other close relatives. He is also survived by long time friend Ronald Barbieri of Waterbury, CT.
Mr. Jamison was the son of the late Charles and Dorothy Jamison of Ithaca, NY. He attended Ithaca schools where he began his musical career. He was then enrolled at Syracuse University in the School of Music where he was awarded a Fulbright grant for study at the Vienna Academy of Music under the guidance of noted organist Anton Hiler. Subsequent studies were undertaken at Julliard and at Yale University.
Mr. Jamison was a leading musical force in the Waterbury area where as organist and choir director at the First Congregational Church of Waterbury he founded the Waterbury Oratorio Society which thrives today as the Waterbury Chorale. He was influential as a musical leader and teacher and as a performer on the piano and organ. Under Mr. Jamison's direction the Oratorio Society performed major choral works in the Greater Waterbury area and in New York and Washington, DC.
Besides his prominence in Watebury, Mr. Jamison enjoyed a reputation both as a conductor and performer throughout the Northeast. He performed organ recitals locally at Cornell University's Sage Chapel and Ithaca College's Ford Auditorium and also at several local churches. He was noted for his ability to play the complete works of Bach, Franck, Mendelssohn and Handel. His recitals included performances at Columbia and Yale Universities, The Washington National Cathedral and Westminster Abbey.
Funeral services were held Monday, Nov. 13, 1989 in St. John's Episcopal Church in Waterbury, CT. Participating in the service with choral selections was the forty-five voice Waterbury Chorale founded by Mr. Jamison. Burial was at East Lawn Cemetery in Ithaca, NY where services were held for family and friends on Tuesday, Nov. 14, 1989.
