Ernest G. Eberhard (May 30, 1839 - January 16, 1910) was a German immigrant who founded the Grand Conservatory of New York City, of which he was president for about 40 years.[1][2][3] He was also an organist, conductor of choral societies and orchestras, author of musical instruction books[4] and a publisher[5]

Eberhard founded the Grand Conservatory in 1874,[1] with some help from the New York State Legislature.[2] At a graduation ceremony, Theodore Roosevelt (then a state congressman), admitted to being involved in the legislation which allowed the conservatory to offer a Musical Doctor degree.[2] Ernst Eberhard was the first to receive the doctorate.[2]
