Arthur W. Lehman

Arthur W. Lehman (September 24, 1917 – June 19, 2009) was a widely recorded American euphonium virtuoso and soloist.

Lehman retired as euphonium soloist and section leader of the "President's Own" United States Marine Band in 1971 after twenty-four years of service.

Arthur Lehman was instrumental in changing the euphonium section of the Marine Band from playing the small-bore C.G.

[1] In the late 1940s, Lehman worked closely with the British Boosey and Hawkes musical instrument company to produce a set of five custom-made silver-plated "Imperial" model euphoniums which were used in the Marine Band for over half a century.

[4] In 1969, Glenn Call, then euphoniumist with the Continental Army Band at Fort Monroe, Virginia, began studies with Arthur Lehman.

Other enthusiastic Lehman euphonium students included Michael Ressler, Frank Noonan, Robert Palmer, Maureen Hickey and Tony Ciarlante.

[citation needed] Arthur Lehman died June 19, 2009, at his home in Camp Springs, Maryland.
