Georg Tintner was born on May 22, 1917, in Vienna, Austria. He began studying piano at age six and composing shortly thereafter. From ages nine to thirteen, he was a member of the Vienna Boys' Choir. Following the persecution of Jews and the Anschluss, he fled Vienna in 1938, arriving in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1940. He directed various choirs and orchestras until moving to Australia in 1954, where he became resident conductor of the National Opera of Australia. In 1967, he joined the Sadler's Wells Opera. Tintner moved to Canada in 1987, serving as director of Symphony Nova Scotia. He recorded a complete cycle of Anton Bruckner's symphonies for Naxos between 1995 and 1998, and his early compositions included Sonata for Violin (1944) and Trauermusik (1941). Tintner received numerous awards, including the Grosses Ehrenzeichen from Austria in 1993 and membership in the Order of Canada in 1998. He died on October 2, 1999, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
