Endre Wolf

He performed the works of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Johann Sebastian Bach, Beethoven and many others.

[1] Wolf was born in Budapest to a Jewish family from Chernivtsi in Ukraine and raised in Hungary.

When he was four, Wolf persuaded his parents to buy him a violin and he was taught by the well known Hungarian musician Jenő Hubay along with Leó Weiner.

The Hungarian police refused to give him a passport but after his aunt showed them a letter from Gothenburg and told them, "Here is another opportunity to get rid of a Jew", he was allowed to leave Hungary to spend the war in neutral Sweden and emigrate to England after the war.

[6] He married twice, first to a German woman named Antoinette which ended in divorce during his time in Manchester and second to violinist Jennifer Nuttall-Wolf who was a professor at the Malmö Academy of Music.
