Alfred Strombergs

Alfred Strombergs (; 19 February 1922 in Liepāja – 22 February 2006 in Toronto

In 1949 Stromberg founded the Halifax Symphonette (later known as the Halifax Symphony Orchestra), serving as that symphony's first conductor through 1955. The symphonette was largely formed to be the orchestra for the newly formed Nova Scotia Opera Association and the Halifax Ballet Guild, both organizations for which Stromberg served as music director during his tenure with the Halifax Symphonette.

In 1971 Strombergs moved to Alberta to assume the post of opera conductor and voice teacher at the University of Alberta (UA). The following year he became the chair of the UA's vocal music department; a position he maintained until his retirement sixteen years later. While working at the UA he was appointed music director of the opera division at the Banff Centre in 1972-1973 and the chorus master of the Edmonton Opera in 1973-1974.

After retiring from teaching in 1987, Strombergs lived in retirement in Toronto until his death in 2006.
