Bronisław Huberman

Bronislaw Huberman (19 December 1882 – 16 June 1947) was a Polish violinist.He was known for his individualistic interpretations and was praised for his tone color, expressiveness, and flexibility.

The Gibson ex-Huberman Stradivarius violin, which bears his name, was stolen twice and recovered once during the period in which he owned the instrument.

Huberman is also remembered for founding the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (then known as the Palestine Philharmonic) and thus providing refuge from the Third Reich for nearly 1,000 European Jews.
