Hans Wilhelm Steinberg. German-American conductor (1 August 1899, Cologne, Germany - 16 May 1978, New York City, New York, USA). Steinberg worked as an apprentice under Otto Klemperer at the Cologne Opera (Oper Köln) and in 1924 became principal conductor there. He conducted opera at Prague (1925–29) and Frankfurt-am-Main (1929–33). After establishing himself as a conductor in Germany, Steinberg fled the Nazi regime in 1936 and emigrated to Palestine. He founded, with Bronislaw Huberman, the Palestine Symphony (later the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra) in 1936. It was there he gained the notice of Arturo Toscanini, who invited him to become associate conductor of the newly formed NBC Symphony Orchestra.
