Roman Totenberg

Roman Totenberg (January 1, 1911 Łódź-May 8, 2012 Newton) was a Polish teacher and violinist. His children are called Nina Totenberg, Amy Totenberg and Jill Totenberg.

Genres he performed include Classical music.

Roman Totenberg was known for his virtuosic performances and was celebrated as one of the preeminent violinists of his time. Born in Łódź, Poland, he began playing the violin at a young age and went on to study at the Warsaw Conservatory of Music. He made his professional debut in 1934, and later went on to perform with major orchestras across the world, including the New York Philharmonic and the London Symphony Orchestra.

In addition to his performing career, Totenberg was also a highly respected music teacher. He taught at a number of prestigious institutions, including the Longy School of Music and the Boston Conservatory, and was known for his rigorous and demanding approach. Many of his students went on to become accomplished musicians in their own right.

Totenberg's legacy was further cemented by his dedication to promoting the works of contemporary composers. He commissioned and premiered numerous pieces, including works by Aaron Copland and William Schuman.

Tragically, Totenberg's prized Stradivarius violin was stolen from his dressing room in 1980 and remained missing for over 35 years. It was finally recovered in 2015, three years after his death, and restored to his family.
