Biography

Norman Herzberg (March 24, 1916 – February 4, 2007) was an American bassoonist and professor of bassoon at the University of Southern California. Considered to be one of the most important bassoonists of his generation, Herzberg is well known for popularizing the bassoon reed style of his teacher, Vincent Pezzi. In modern day, Herzberg's adaptations in bassoon reed making are some of the most prevalent across the United States. Herzberg was the principal bassoonist of the St. Louis Symphony, a founding member of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, and a major studio freelancer, namely for Warner Brothers Studios. He was an inaugural faculty member at the Aspen Music Festival and School, and the Music Academy of the West, where he taught for 20 seasons.
