 Klein, Lothar

Lothar Klein, composer and teacher, was born in Hanover, Germany, on January 27, 1932, and died in Toronto on January 3, 2004. His family emigrated from Germany to England in 1939, and then to Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1940. Klein studied piano with Olga Samaroff-Stokowsky and received his doctorate in musicology and composition from the University of Minnesota, where he studied composition with Dimitri Mitropoulos, Antal Dorati, and Goffretto Petrassi. He also studied with Boris Blacher and Luigi Nono. After teaching at universities in the United States, he joined the University of Toronto Faculty of Music in 1968 and retired in 1996. His compositions include an opera (Tale of a Father and Son); various orchestral and chamber works; solo piano pieces; and vocal and choral compositions.
