About Arthur W. Lehman
- Arthur W.
- 'Art' Lehman (September 24, 1917 – June 19, 2009) was a widely recorded American Euphonium virtuoso and soloist.
- He was noted for having radically changed the way the instrument was technically performed, and was a major influence on Euphonium soloists who followed him. Lehman retired as Euphonium soloist and section leader of the "President's Own" United States Marine Band in 1971 after twenty-four years of service.
- During his time with the Marine Band, he performed many solos that set the highest standards for Euphoniumists who followed.
- Arthur Lehman was instrumental in changing the Euphonium section of the Marine Band from playing the small-bore C.G.
- Conn Double-bell euphoniums of the Sousa Band era to the large-bore Boosey and Hawkes self-compensating Euphoniums, which he demonstrated to be more functional and adaptable to modern performance practices.
