Boguslavsky, Mikhail "Misha"
Mikhail "Misha" Boguslavsky 1926 ~ 2005 Mikhail Boguslavsky, 79, died March 17
after a prolonged hospital stay due to complications from diabetes and heart
disease. He was born May 16, 1926 in the Ukraine and began his musical
training at age six in a school for gifted children. After surviving World War
II, he graduated from the prestigious Moscow Conservatory as a soloist and
teacher of viola and chamber music. He was the principal violist in the Moscow
Radio Symphony and the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra. With Rudolph Barshai, he
helped to found the world famous Moscow Chamber Orchestra with which he played
for 20 years, traveling to more than 50 countries and participating in chamber
music festivals in Europe, the United States and Japan. He emigrated to
America with his wife Nina and son Yuri in 1978. He joined the New Jersey
Symphony as principal violist after two years in New York, where he played
freelance with the American Symphony, Mostly Mozart Festival, the Brooklyn
Symphony, the Berlin Ballet at Lincoln Center, and taught at Waterloo Chamber
Music School and Festival and the White Mountain Chamber Music Festival. He
moved to Utah with his family in 1980, where he played with the Utah Symphony
until retiring in 1999. He served as adjunct professor of viola and chamber
music at the University of Utah until his death. A highly trained, sensitive
musician, he enjoyed a long and distinguished career, winning laurels as one
of the finest violists of his time. He passed on his love of music to his many
students to whom he was totally devoted and who greatly admire him. They carry
on his tradition of musical excellence in San Francisco, Kansas, Pittsburgh,
Chile and across Europe. Misha was admired by his colleagues, friends and
students for his musicianship, his generosity, his zest for life, his love of
his newfound homeland, and his boundless sense of humor. No one appreciated or
told a good joke like Misha did! His signature greeting on his answer machine
is, "It's a free country. Say something." He is survived by his wife Nina of
Salt Lake City, his son Yuri, who works at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, his
sister Greta and her family, the family of his late brother, Boris. His

in Salt Lake City, Utah of natural causes. Else was born to Ernst Heinze and
Emma Bogisch Heinze on December 21, 1911 in the hamlet of Benau, Germany.
Growing up as the youngest daughter of a merchant, she experienced many of the
finer things of life in her youth. In 1934, she married Walter Louis Dittmar,
who was also a merchant, in Gassen, Germany. They had three children before
World War II interrupted their family life when Walter was drafted into the
Luftwaffe and was absent for most of eight years. During this time, Else
safely guided her three children through the intense fighting of the Russian
front. With great determination and strength, she learned to live under the
Communist destruction. To survive as refugees, she used her education as a
hair stylist and traded hair styling for food for the family. In 1948, Walter
returned from the war and they soon found the means to escape communism and
hardship by crossing through "Checkpoint Charlie" into West Germany. The
family settled in the North Sea coastal town of Wilhelmshaven, and later
immigrated to the United States in 1956. As she began a new life in a new
country, Else again used her hairstyling profession to help provide for the
family. For many years, she kept her Salt Lake City German friends looking and
feeling special. She is loved by her posterity, and in the German tradition
has spent the last 10 years living in the homes of her two sons and their
families, alternating between them from time to time. She was preceded in
death by her husband, Walter Louis Dittmar; her brother, Kurt Heinze; her
daughter, Isolde Carlsen; and her son, Bo Walter Dittmar. She is survived by
