Dillon was very successful and active in attempting to revive German-Jewish composer and pianist, Robert Kahn's lost music. His efforts were internationally recognised by the musical and academic community.[1] He made two acclaimed recordings dedicated to Kahn's music, Jungbrunnen (Fountain of Youth) and Der Liebe Macht (The Power of Love).[1][2] Both recordings were world premiers.[3] Dillon died before the recording of the third CD which was near completion.
Dillon was a world-renowned lyric tenor and musician who had performed several times at the Carnegie Hall in New York. He performed over 40 roles in the United States, Europe and Asia.[3]
Dillon died about 12 hours after a concert at the Central Vermont Chamber Music Festival on 20 August 2005,[4] due to cardiac arrest.[5]
