Born in 1874 in Lyon, France, Mr. tenHave studied for years with his father, William tenHave, a famous violin virtuoso and composer. He was later a pupil of Ysaye at Brussels Conservatory and toured with the master over Europe and the British Isles.
He had appeared with all the great European orchestras as well as appearing in solo concerts in continental music centers and the British Isles. He also appeared as soloist with many of the great American Symphony orchestras.
In 1917 Mr. tenHave went to Cincinnati as head of the violin department of the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, which post he held at the time of his death.
He was for many years a member of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. In 1943 he allied himself with the newly formed Adirondack Music Center, Saranac Inn, and had taught violin there since the inception of the music center. Many members of the faculty and the director were former students of his in Cincinnati.

The French Government honored him by making him a member of the Legion of Music in recognition of his out standing artistry in the field of music. He was also a Kentucky Colonel and an honorary member of many musical fraternities and sororities.
His passing is mourned by a son Robert, a sister, Mrs. Joseph Salmon, and a niece, Jacqueline Salmon, who reside in Paris, France.
