In later years, Mona Schoen Reisman was a principal player in the Chicago Lyric Opera. She and her late virtuoso violist husband, William Schoen (formerly the principal violist with the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra), performed many chamber music concerts together all over the world. Besides her cousin, Arthur Reisman (Averil), Lake in the Hills, IL, and their daughters Lisa Reisman Busch (Jason), Marla, and Julie (Miranda), Ms. Reisman Schoen leaves behind her niece, Lisa Davidoff (Larry) , New York City, NY and their children Benjamin, Hannah, and Michael, as well as extended family, friends and colleagues.
