Isidor Lateiner

Isidor Lateiner (January 8, 1930, Havana, Cuba – May 26, 2005, Amsterdam, Netherlands) was a Cuban-American violinist.

Lateiner came to the United States when he was ten, and was awarded a scholarship to the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, where he studied with Lea Luboshutz and later with Ivan Galamian.

He later moved to Amsterdam, where he continued his career as a soloist and as a chamber music partner.

As a chamber musician, Lateiner's name is associated with those of Godfried Hoogeveen and Edith Grosz, to whom he was married and with whom he gave recitals throughout the world and made radio recordings in Europe.

He commissioned composers such as Milton Babbitt, Matthias Kadar, Hans Kox and Jochem Slothouwer to write chamber music pieces and violin concertos for himself.
