Waldemar Thrane
Waldemar Thrane (8 October 1790 – 30 December 1828) was a Norwegian composer, violinist and conductor.[1]
Waldemar Thrane was born in Christiania (now Olso), Norway. He was the son of Paul Thrane (1751 - 1830) a businessman and timber merchant and was an uncle of author and journalist, Marcus Thrane.[2] [3]
From 1814-1815, he studied music in Paris. In 1819, Thrane made his debut concert in Oslo as conductor, violinist and composer. He served as conductor of the Christiania Public Theatre Orchestra (Christiania offentlige Theaters orkester) and The Musical Lyceum (Det musikalske Lyceum) until he fell ill and was replaced by Ole Bull in 1828. He died at 38 years of age. Waldemar Thranes gate, located in St. Hanshaugen in Oslo, is named in his honor. [4][5] [6]
