Gerard Hoffnung

Gerard Hoffnung, the artist and musical humorist, was born in Berlin on 22 March 1925. Less known was his ability with the tuba, which led to a performance of Vaughan Williams' Tuba Concerto in 1958. He died in London, still a young man, on 28 September 1959, before the last of the three famous and hilarious London Hoffnung Music Festival concerts.
