A Bronislaw Huberman (1882-1947) Concert
A splendid violinist, Huberman was born in Poland and studied violin with the renowned Joseph Joachim in Berlin…became a close friend of Arthur Rubinstein, the pianist…in 1896 played Brahms’ violin concerto for Brahms himself, who was amazed at his prowess…
In 1929, Huberman first visited Palestine ““ and a few years later put together an all-Jewish orchestra to rescue Jews from Nazism in Europe. He persuaded Arturo Toscanini to conduct the first concerts, writing to him that he was “obsessed” with the idea of a Jewish orchestra.
A year after Huberman died, Israel became a nation ““ and the Palestine Philharmonic became the Israel Philharmonic.
