The conductor and composer José Serebrier studied first in his native Montevideo before entering the Curtis Institute and then studying conducting with Dorati at the University of Minnesota. He has enjoyed a distinguished international career as a conductor, serving from 1962 to 1966 as assistant conductor to Stokowski with the American Symphony Orchestra.

Orchestral and Chamber Music
Serebrier’s orchestral compositions include three symphonies and a Violin Concerto, among a variety of other works. His Sonata for Violin Solo, dating from 1948 when he was nine years old, exhibits his unusual precocity.
