Bernard Wagenaar (July 18, 1894 – May 19, 1971) was a Dutch/American composer, conductor and violinist. Wagenaar, not related to the Dutch composer Johan Wagenaar, was born in Arnhem. He studied at Utrecht University before starting his career as a teacher and conductor in 1914. He moved to the USA in 1920, where he became a citizen in 1927. From 1925 to 1968 he taught at the Juilliard School where Ned Rorem, Jacob Druckman, Bernard Herrmann, Robert Ward, Tutti Camarata, Charles Jones, Alan Shulman and James Cohn were among his pupils. He was an active member of the League of Composers and similar organisations, and was an officer of the Order of Orange-Nassau in the Netherlands. He died in York, Maine. He wrote four symphonies (1926, 1930, 1936 and 1946), and a quantity of other orchestral, vocal, and chamber music in a broadly neoclassical style.〔Herbert Antcliffe and Barbara A. Renton.
