Thomas Weber

Thomas K. Weber began violin lessons at the age of seven years. He studied privately with several teachers in the Chicago area, notably among these were Henri Hayza (a pupil of Sevick), and Paul Stassevitch (a student of Leopold Auer).

Music was always an important part of Tom's life. His mother was a professional cellist. His great uncle Bohomir Kryl was a world renowned coronet soloist in the early part of the 20th century. The musical influence was obvious, and he decided to continue with music as a life long profession.

Tom chose the Eastman School of Music for his education. He majored in public music education, and minored in violin performance. He graduated in 1959 and began a teaching and playing career that continues to this day. Teaching experiences include public schools in Duluth, Minnesota; Tucson, Arizona; and Los Alamos, New Mexico.

Performing in orchestras has always been a priority and Tom has played in many, including as a charter member of the Eastman Philharmonia. Symphony orchestra include the Rochester Philharmonic, Duluth Symphony, Tucson Symphony, Santa Fe Opera Orchestra, Orchestra of Santa Fe, Santa Fe Symphony, Durango, Colorado Orchestra, Taos Symphony, and Hobbs Symphony. Tom has been Concertmaster of the Roswell Symphony Orchestra for 15 years.

Tom and his wife Charmaine live in Los Alamos, and have two grown children. Hobbies include hunting, fishing and spoiling the grandchildren.
