William Steinberg (originally Hans Wilhelm Steinberg) (August 1, 1899 – May 16, 1978) was a German Jewish conductor. He was born in Cologne, but left Germany for (what is now) Israel in 1936. He decided to leave Germany because the Nazis had removed him from the Frankfurt Opera in 1933 and had limited him to conducting all-Jewish orchestras. Eventually, together with Bronislaw Huberman he founded and conducted the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. Steinberg left for the United States in 1938. He conducted the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra from 1945 to 1953. From 1958 to 1960 he conducted the London Philharmonic Orchestra. From 1969 to 1971 he conducted the Boston Symphony Orchestra. However, he was still the music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra until 1972. He is best known for directing the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra from 1952 to 1976.
