Alfred Klingenberg (8 September 1867 - 20 April 1944), a Norwegian pianist and composer of great distinction, was the Eastman School of Music´s first director (1921–23). He was succeeded by composer Howard Hanson in 1924.[1] Klingenberg started the DKG Institute of Musical Art in Rochester 1912. This school would later become the Eastman School of Music. George Eastman bought the school from Klingenberg in 1919.[2] Klingenberg was a friend of Jean Sibelius, and secured the composer a position on the faculty during his directorship.[3]
Alf Klingenberg was the first cousin once removed of Trondheim mayor Odd Sverressøn Klingenberg, and nephew of engineer Johannes Benedictus Klingenberg.[4][5]
