Walter Kaufmann
Czech composer
Walter Kaufmann (1 April 1907 – 9 September 1984) was a Bohemian-born American composer, conductor, ethnomusicologist, librettist and educator. Born in Karlsbad, Bohemia (then part of Austria-Hungary), he trained in Prague and Berlin before fleeing the Nazi persecution of Jews to work in Bombay until Indian independence. He then moved to London and Canada before settling in the U.S. as a professor of musicology at Indiana University Bloomington in 1957. In 1964, he became a naturalized U.S. citizen.
