Charles Hommann (July 25, 1803-?1872) was an American composer.
A native of Philadelphia, he was among the first American-born composers to produce chamber and orchestral music successfully.
His father, who had immigrated to the United States from Germany in the 1790s, worked as a music promoter and publisher in Philadelphia.
[4] As a violinist and violist for the Musical Fund Society of Philadelphia, Hommann was exposed to the works of the major European composers of his time.
[5] His own music was performed by the Bethlehem Philharmonic Society as well as the Philadelphia Philharmonic Society, and he won a gold medal prize from the latter for his overture in D in 1835.
