Lichtenberg studied under Beaujardin, and made his first appearance in concert when eight years of age.
In his twelfth year, he was asked by Henryk Wieniawski, then on a visit to California, to become his pupil.
Some time afterward he spent six months in Paris under Lambert, and then rejoined Wieniawski at Brussels Conservatory, where he studied unremittingly for three years.
After winning a prize at a national competition held in Belgium, he made a successful tour through the Netherlands.
His fine technique and beautiful tone entitled him to high rank among violinists.
