HENRI TEMIANKA (1906 – 1992) lived an extraordinary life as a violinist, conductor writer, and educator. From his early solo career in Europe to his work as founder of the Paganini Quartet and California Chamber Symphony, Temianka left an indelible mark on American classical music. 

This exhibit displays letters, photographs, and concert programs from Temianka’s long and varied career. The correspondence, archived by his son, Dr. Daniel Temianka, reflects his gregariousness and breadth of interests, as well as the effects of modern European history on musicians and artists, and the growth of classical music in Southern California. 

The exhibit is located in the Frank Mt. Pleasant Library of Special Collections and Archives, on the fourth floor of the Leatherby Libraries. 

Exhibit Dates: March 1 - June 30, 2016
Exhibit Hours: See posted hours for the Frank Mt. Pleasant Library on their website.
