Arthur Fiedler (1894 - 1979)

Arthur Fiedler (1894-1979) was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on 17 December, 1894. He studied violin first with his father Emanuel (a founder of the Kneisel Quartet and sometime first violin of the Boston Symphony Orchestra), and later with Willy Hess at the Berlin Royal Academy, from 1911 to 1914. After a brief spell as second violin with the Boston Symphony in 1915, he served in the US Army until 1918 when he returned to the orchestra as a violist.

In 1924 he founded the Fiedler Sinfonietta, later re-named Boston Sinfonietta, and during the mid-1920s also doubled as a choral conductor, notably with the Boston Male Choir and the Cecilia Society. Fiedler’s 1929 season of open-air Esplanade concerts with the Boston Sinfonietta proved so successful that he was appointed director of the Boston Pops Orchestra, a position he held for more than thirty years, until his death, in Boston, on 10 July, 1979.
