Richard Hageman (9 July 1881 – 6 March 1966) was a Dutch-born American conductor, pianist, and composer.

He was the son of Maurits Hageman of Zutphen, a violinist, pianist and conductor, and of Hester Westerhoven of Amsterdam, a singer who performed under the name Francisca Stoetz.

[1] As a young man he was an accompanist for singers and with the Nederlandsche Opera, which he conducted for the first time in 1899.

Hageman was a coach in voice and collaborative at the Chicago Musical College in the 1920s,[8] where one of his notable piano students was Ray Turner, who went on to play with the Paul Whiteman Orchestra, worked as the staff pianist at Paramount Studios for over 20 years, and was a popular recording and concert artist.

[10] He played minor roles in eleven movies, for example as opera conductor Carlo Santi in The Great Caruso.

[12] While his large musical compositions are rarely heard today, a few of his art songs are well-known and highly regarded, especially "Do Not Go, My Love", a setting of a Rabindranath Tagore poem.
