“Friedrich Hegar studied first in Basle and then from 1857 to 1859 at the Leipzig

Conservatory under Hauptmann, Rietz and David; during the same period he was a

violinist at the Gewandhaus. In 1860 he became the leading violinist of the Bilse

orchestra in Warsaw. After visiting Paris and London he returned to Basle, but in 1861

was appointed conductor of the choir and orchestra at Gebweiler in Alsace. A year later

Theodor Kirchner summoned him to Zürich; he settled there and contributed greatly to its

musical life for more than half a century. From 1862 to 1865 he was Konzertmeister of

the newly established orchestra, then becoming its conductor (until 1906). He also

directed various choirs: in 1863 that of the Aktientheater; from 1865 the Gemischter Chor

(until 1901) and the Stadtsängerverein (until 1867); from 1875 to 1878 the male choir

Harmonie; and from 1891 to 1896 the Lehrergesangverein. He helped to found the Zürich

Music School (which became the conservatory) and was later appointed director” (New
