Abstract

ABSTRACTLike other Jewish musicians of his time, conductor and composer Erich Eisner (1897–1956) fled Nazi Germany to start a new life and career abroad. In 1945 Eisner was entrusted with the creation and direction of the Bolivian National Symphony Orchestra, and as conductor of this institution he promoted the music of local composers and became an early champion of Anton Bruckner in South America. Eisner’s remarkable accomplishments are noteworthy, particularly when viewed against the backdrop of the cultural policies of the Third Reich and the Latin American reception of Bruckner’s symphonic oeuvre in the 1940s and 1950s.
