(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Jascha Silberstein, born Hannes Bruno Willer, was a German-born American musician. He was for thirty years first cellist of the orchestra of the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. Early life and education Silberstein was born in Stettin, Germany under the name of Hannes Bruno Willer, and raised in Stettin and then Mannheim. To escape the 1943 bombing raids on Stettin, his family relocated to the maternal home in southern Germany, with his father, a physician, remaining in Stettin. Beginning studies on the piano aged 5, he made his first public appearance at 11, playing Bach's Concerto in D minor, then switched to the cello aged 12 after hearing Gregor Piatigorsky play. After playing for several years with a gypsy band in Wiesbaden and an orchestra in Munich, he studied cello with Rudolf Hindemith, Paul Hindemith's brother, and the legendary Czech violinist Váša Příhoda. He adopted the name Jascha Silberstein in honor of his mentor.
