Bronislaw Huberman (19 December 1882 û 16 June 1947) was a Polish violinist. He was known for his individualistic and personal interpretations. TheGibson ex-Huberman Stradivarius violin which bears his name, was stolen and recovered twice during the period in which he owned the instrument.

Biography
Huberman was born in Czestochowa, Poland, a pupil of Mieczyslaw Michalowicz at the Warsaw Conservatory, and of Isidor Lotto in Paris. In 1892 he studied under Joseph Joachim in Berlin. Despite being only ten years old, he dazzled Joachim with performances of Ludwig Spohr (1784-1859), Henri Vieuxtemps, and the transcription of a Frederic Chopin nocturne. However the two did not get on well, and after his fourteenth birthday he took no more lessons. In 1893 he made a concert-tour as an esteemed virtuoso. In 1894 Adelina Patti invited him to participate in her farewell gala in London, which he did, and in the following year actually eclipsed her in appearance in Vienna. In 1896 he performed the violin concerto of Johannes Brahms in the presence of the composer, who was initially incredulous, and finally overwhelmed, by what he heard.

In 1929 Huberman first visited Palestine, and developed the vision of establishing classical music in the Promised Land. He made his home in Vienna, where he was made a member of the Conservatoire, and where with Arthur Schnabel and Pau Casals he celebrated the Brahms Centenary of 1933 since both he and Schnabel were by then unwelcome in Berlin. He declined invitations from Wilhelm Furtwangler to return to preach a "musical peace" , but wrote instead an open letter to German intellectuals inviting them to remember their essential values. In 1936 he founded the Palestine Orchestra, which gave its first performance on 26 Decembers with Arturo Toscanini conducting. This laid the foundations of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, which, however, was not established until 1948, a year after Huberman's death.

In 1937, a year before the Anschluss, he left Vienna and was given refuge in Switzerland, in the same year making a tour of Australia. In 1938 his career was nearly ended when he was involved in an aeroplane accident in Sumatra, in which his wrist and two fingers of his left hand were broken. After intensive and painful retraining he was able to resume performing. At the onset of the Second World War, Huberman was touring South Africa, and was unable to return to Switzerland until after the war. He died in Corsier-sur-Vevey, Switzerland in 1947.

Huberman was the teacher of Eric Rosenblith.
