Teddy Petersen (born 21 November 1892 - died 15 April 1991) was a Danish bandleader and violinist. Formally trained at the conservatory in Copenhagen, Petersen worked with many orchestras, directed the music for many films and recorded approximately 1000 records.
Petersen, who turned almost a hundred years old, was already in 1941 described by his colleague Otto Lington (in his book Jazz skal der til) as "a permanent institution in Danish music life". According to Lington, Petersen began his career as a professional musician as early as the age of thirteen, becoming a "pipe boy" at the Royal Life Guards. After three years as such, he traveled to the United States in 1910, where he played in various cinema orchestras in New York, including the Strand Theater on Broadway. He returned to Denmark in 1918 and studied at the conservatory in Copenhagen. At the same time, he became concertmaster in Carl Johan Meinung's orchestra at the fashionable restaurant Wivex in Tivoli in Copenhagen.
In the early 1920s, Petersen formed his own orchestra, which received engagements in Aarhus and Aalborg, among other places. In 1927 he returned to Copenhagen, where he got a job at "Marmorhaven" at the Palace Hotel, a postion he kept for three years. In 1931 he then returned to Wivex for a commitment that lasted until 1946 which made him a household name. He also participated diligently in radio programs and recorded gramophone records (about a thousand recordings) and toured, among other places in Sweden.
In 1948, Petersen became head of the Danish Radio Entertainment Orchestra.
Petersen died on April 15th, 1991 and is buried at Holmen's Cemetery in Østerbro.
