Hindemith studied music in Frankfurt and played in that city's opera orchestra before serving in World War I. After the war, he joined the Frankfurt-based Amar Quartet and became professor of composition at the Berliner Hochschule für Musik. In the 1920s and 1930s, he developed a reputation as an innovative composer and was a leading figure in Germany's musical avant-garde.
However, with the rise of the Nazi party, Hindemith's music was labeled "degenerate" and he was forced to flee Germany in 1938. He settled in the United States, where he taught at Yale University and became a naturalized citizen. During this time, he continued to compose and conduct music, often integrating elements of jazz and American folk music into his work.
After World War II, Hindemith returned to Europe and settled in Switzerland. He continued to be an influential figure in the world of classical music, composing in a variety of genres including orchestral works, chamber music, operas, and ballets. He died in Frankfurt in 1963 at the age of 68.
