Biographical Sketch
The following information was relayed to Mr. John A. Emerson in a
telephone call by Mr. Cesare Claudio, Berkeley about Ernesto Claudio and the Claudio
family (February, 1984):
Ernesto Claudio was born in Naples, Italy, on March 6, 1877. When the family lived in
Athens, Greece, his mother taught him the violin. At the age of 18 he graduated from the
Royal Conservatory in Naples, and later concertized in Italy, Greece and France. He was a
member of the San Carlo Opera Company. While touring the United States the company
disbanded, and Mr. Claudio decided to remain here. He was married in Naples. Mr. Claudio
played with the Seattle Symphony, then moved to San Francisco and conducted the
orchestra at the Warfield Theater. Ernesto Claudio had four children: Ferdinand, Maria,
Cesare, and Silvio. Members of the Claudio family who have been members of the San
Francisco Symphony Orchestra are: Cesare, cello; Ferdinand, violin; Silvio, violin, and
Mary Hughson Claudio, cello. Ernesto Claudio died in Kentfield on April 5,
1957.
