Rafael Druian (January 20, 1923 – September 8, 2003), was an American violinist, conductor and music educator.
Druian was born in Vologda, Russia but immigrated with his parents to Havana, Cuba as an infant.
He began his formal music training there as a violinist, studying with Amadeo Roldán, the conductor of the Havana Philharmonic.
At age 9, he went to Philadelphia to audition for Leopold Stokowski, who recommended him for a scholarship at the Curtis Institute of Music where he studied with Lea Luboshutz and Efrem Zimbalist, graduating in 1942.
They had two sons, Peter of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Greg of Portland, Oregon.
