Boris Hambourg
Toronto Daily Star, May 3 1930
Boris Hambourg (1885-1954) was born in Russia. He was one of three brothers who each learned a musical instrument: Mark, the oldest, played piano, and Jan, the middle brother, played violin. Boris, the baby of the family, started on piano and switched to cello. Collectively, the three played together as the Hambourg Trio.
Mr. Hambourg became a naturalized Canadian citizen in 1910, eventually settling in Toronto. When not touring, he taught at the Hambourg Conservatory of Music.
