A concert star born in Hartlepool

Any guesses?

He came into the world in West Hartlepool, the child of Polish-Jewish immigrants, and entered the Royal Academy of Music as a violinist.

He came out a violist, the first to make a solo career on the instrument.

He died 50 years ago next month at the prodigious age of 98.

Hartlepool have booked a concert in his memory this month.

Go on, it’s on the tip of your tongue.
