"Another musician-stub on John de Lancie asserts that he was 99 when he died in 2001. The Penguin Dictionary of Musical Performers has his date of birth as 26 July 1921, which is consistent with other significant dates in his career - first oboe of the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1954, Director of the Curtis Institute in 1977 - and Strauss's description of him as a "young" American oboist, in the dedication of his Oboe Concerto."
