Samuel Antek

Samuel Antek

Samuel Antek (died 1958) was a violinist in the NBC Symphony Orchestra under conductor Arturo Toscanini. He joined at the orchestra's inception in 1937 and played with it until its dissolution in 1954.

Antek was also a conductor and served as music director for the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra from1947 to 1958.

Antek wrote a series of essays about Toscanini describing the famed Italian conductor from the point of view of an orchestral musician. They were collected in a book entitled "This Was Toscanini", accompanied by superb photographs of Toscanini by Robert Hupka; it was published posthumously in 1963.
