Joseph Achron (1886 - 1943)

Lithuanian by birth, the violinist and composer Joseph Achron studied with Auer and Lyadov at the St Petersburg Conservatory, and had an earlier career in Russia, before emigrating to the United States in 1925. Two years later he gave the premire of his Violin Concerto No.1 with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. His Golem Suite was given in Venice in 1932 at the ISCM festival. In 1934 he moved from New York to Hollywood, where he wrote music for films, while continuing his career as a violinist. His compositions include three violin concertos and some works of Jewish inspiration.
