Philip S. Johnson
American violinist / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Philip S. Johnson (January 27, 1953 – November 11, 2011)[1] was an American violinist. A promising talent in his youth, his career never took off. He is now known to have stolen the Ames Stradivarius, a valuable antique violin, from Roman Totenberg in 1980.[2] Although Johnson was suspected, the instrument was not recovered until 2015, four years after his death.
