  • Helen Kwalwasser, born October 11, 1927, died May 22, 2017, was a professor of violin at the Boyer College of Music and Dance at Temple University. Helen Kwalwasser was a world-renowned violin soloist and violin teacher. In addition to spending nearly 50 years as a faculty member at the Boyer College, she had performed as a soloist and chamber musician with the New York Chamber Soloists and her music has been recorded for Odyssey Records, Vanguard, Westminster Records, Delos Records and Columbia Records.

In 2006, she was honored with a prestigious National Artist-Teacher Award from the American String Teachers Association. From the beginning, Kwalwasser's career was influenced by her teachers, the first of whom were her parents, who handed her a violin at age 4. Natural talent earned Kwalwasser a full scholarship to the Curtis Institute of Music, where she studied with the legendary Efram Zimbalist, Sr. She later went on to study at Juilliard School with renowned pedagogue Ivan Galamian. She was married to Harvey Wedeen, chairman of the Boyer keyboard department, who died in 2015. (en)
