Robert Lentz(1929-2013)
- Actor
Robert Lentz played drums in the Utah Symphony under Maurice Abravanel
for 30 years beginning about 1955. He claims that he was hired by
Abravanel without auditioning on the strength of several referrals and
because he and Abravanel both liked to smoke cigars, which was
considered a no-no in Utah in those days. He retired when Abravanel
retired. He has traveled to over 30 countries in the course of his
career. He later joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
and now resides in Sandy, Utah. He is married and is the father of
several children.
