John Antes
Born: 24th March 1740, Pennsylvania, United States
Died: 17th December 1811, Bristol, UK
Nationality: American
John Antes was the first American Moravian Missionary to travel and work in Egypt, one of the earliest American-born chamber music composers, and the maker of perhaps the earliest surviving bowed string instrument made in America. Although Antes is often recognized for his choral works, such as Go Congregation Go! and Surely he has Bourne our Griefs, his three string trios have also attracted attention and the lost "six Quartettos" remain a tantalizing mystery.
