Live and act
He studied violin from 1913 to 1917 at the St. Petersburg Conservatory . In 1919 he founded a “Jewish national musical organization Kadimah” in his hometown of Kamenets-Podolsk in the Ukraine, with which he later performed in Palestine .
In 1924 Brandmann came to Vienna , where he studied composition with Franz Schmidt at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna . He was equally successful as a composer and conductor of the Vienna Jewish Choral Society and as an interpreter at the chamber music concerts of the Society for the Promotion of Jewish Music. The violin concerto from 1927 is one of the most highly regarded works.
In 1935 he moved to Palestine, where his activities were no longer of the same scope. He then led the workers' choir in Tel Aviv for many years (which was based on the “Kadimah” choir). His works, including the symphonic poem "Hechaluz", which had had a resounding success in Vienna at the time, were largely disregarded there.
