André Tchaikowsky and David Ferré
André Tchaikowsky was a talented Polish pianist and composer who, when he died in 1982, donated his skull to the Royal Shakespeare Company in England to be used in performing Hamlet, and they accepted! My brother, David Ferré, spent 38 years researching and documenting the life and work of André Tchaikowsky.
He created an amazingly extensive website at http://www.andretchaikowsky.com.
David wrote a 500-page book about Tchaikowsky. For a free read, go to: http://andretchaikowsky.com/biography/book/index.htm.
In the event you want to purchase a kindle version of the book for five dollars, here is the link to Amazon:.

David passed away in 2020. In October, 2022, the Karlskrona International Piano Festival in Sweden memorialized David and André. Below are links to two pdf documents. The first is the program for the festival and the second my review of the event.
