Hermann Fernow
Tchaikovsky Research
German concert agent, based in Hamburg (b. 21 February/5 March 1849 in Inowrocław; d. 13/26 June 1917 in Berlin).
Fernow was the co-owner of the agency Konzert-Direktion Hermann Wolff, founded in 1880 by Hermann Wolff. Following Wolff's death in 1902, Fernow took over the management of the company.
