George Frederick Bristow was an American composer, conductor, violinist, and educator, born in Brooklyn, New York. A prominent advocate for American classical music during a period of European dominance in U.S. concert life, Bristow worked tirelessly to promote native composers and establish a national musical identity. His extensive body of work includes five symphonies, two operas, oratorios, choral pieces, and chamber music. His Fifth Symphony, titled Niagara, premiered at Carnegie Hall in January 1898, only months before his death. Bristow also figured prominently in a public dispute with critic William Henry Fry and the New York Philharmonic Society, criticizing its exclusion of American composers.
