Arthur Ivan Allin

Who was Arthur Ivan Allin?

Arthur Ivan Allin was a Danish violinist, organist, conductor and composer.

Arthur Allin has never specialized himself as a musician. As his interests have been many-sided, his field of work has been extensive, more so presumably than he dreamed when he, as a 12-year old boy, stepped into Tivoli Gardens and beat the little drum in "Old Lumbye's" orchestra.

Arthur Ivan Allin was born in Copenhagen, Denmark the 3rd of December 1847. In the days of his childhood he had music instructions from Adolf Hartmann, Valdemar Tofte, and Peter Rasmussen.
