Peter Wertheimer (21 July 1947 – 5 January 2020) was a Romanian-Israeli jazz musician who specialised in playing the flute, saxophone and the clarinet.
He spent most of his childhood in Timișoara, where his father pioneered in jazz music within the area and was also an opera concertmaster.
Wertheimer learned to play the classical violin at the age of five and began his studies at the local music school, which he was later expelled from when his family’s request to emigrate to Israel was denied.
Wertheimer also made collaborations with Johnny Răducanu, Eugen Gondi, Marius Popp, Radu Goldiș and Adrian Enescu.
He originally lived in a small village on the outskirts of Rehovot before moving to Tel Aviv.
