Sascha Jacobsen (11 December [O.S. 29 November] 1895 - 19 March 1972) was an American violinist and teacher born in Russia, now Finland.[1] He grew up in St. Petersburg, then moved with his family to New York City as a boy.
^In his book "Great Masters of the Violin", Boris Schwarz claims that Jacobsen was born in New York in 1897 and that his manager tried to turn him into a "Russian fiddler" for publicity purposes
