Henry Schoenefeld

Schoenfeld studied in the German Empire at the Weimar Conservatory.

He moved to Chicago in 1879, when he began conducting Germania Männerchor that year[1] and a mixed choir there from 1891 to 1902.

In 1904, he again became a choir master and conducted the Woman's Symphony Orchestra in Los Angeles.

Schoenfeld taught at UCLA and many of his students, such as Roy Harris, went on to have successful careers.
