Eudice Shapiro (1914-2007) was an American violinist, chamber musician, recording artist, and USC faculty member.
Shapiro was born in Buffalo, N.Y., in 1914. She began studying violin with her father when she was 5 and began her solo career
with the Buffalo Philharmonic when she was 12.
She studied with Gustave Tinlot at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y., and with Efrem Zimbalist at the Curtis
Institute of Music in Philadelphia.
She moved to Los Angeles in 1941 to begin a 23-year career playing in Hollywood studios for Paramount, United Artists, and
RKO. She was the first woman concertmaster in any studio orchestra. Shapiro taught at USC for 51 years and the Eudice Shapiro
Endowed Violin Scholarship was created in her honor.
This collection consists of marked published music scores belonging to USC Thornton School of Music professor Eudice Shapiro.
