Lee Smith Memorial Fund

Lee Lake Smith, born in Long Beach on October, 15, 1936, lived fully and died peacefully February 29, 2020. Lee played violin, viola and piano and for fifty years taught music history at Taft Community College and played in the Bakersfield Symphony. He was drawn to Humboldt through the friends he made at HSU "music camp." Upon arriving in Eureka, Lee began playing music in all possible venues in private and for the community including the Eureka Symphony Orchestra and Trinidad Bay Art and Music Festival. The Lee L. Smith Memorial Fund reflects Lee?s wish to support musicians and other artists to gather and perform and to provide lodging assistance for visiting artists, with a priority for needs related to classical music.
