George Gewinner (May 27, 1814 - January 18, 1894) was a musician and band leader during the American Civil War. Gewinner was born, raised and educated in Bayreuth, Bavaria, emigrating to the United States in 1848 where he volunteered with the Union Army three different times during the Civil War, serving as chief musician and band leader for the 99th NY Infantry, the 4th Massachusetts Cavalry and the 6th Infantry Regiment. It was Gewinner's 4th Massachusetts Cavalry band that played the surrender of General Robert E. Lee to General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865, ending the Civil War.
