Wikipedia, viewed September 11, 2019 (Lea Luboshutz (February 22, 1885-March 18, 1965) was a Russian violinist. She was a child prodigy and studied at the Moscow Conservatory from age 11 until 1903 when she won the gold medal. She toured in Russia with her brother and sister as the Luboshutz Trio and in other places in Europe. When she was 16, she met Onissim Goldovsky and subsequently established a household with him, giving birth to 3 children, although Goldovsky never divorced his wife. The two of them decided to leave the Soviet Union, and Lea departed in 1921 with her son, Boris, on a tour of Germany. Goldovsky died the following year, not having managed to leave the Soviet Union. Living as a single mother in Berlin and Paris, she toured Europe until Sol Hurok brought her to the United States on tour. She was invited to join the faculty of the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia in1927 where she taught until 1947.)
