Carlos Anckermann Riera (10 March 1829 – 17 February 1909) was a Cuban musician, composer and teacher. Born in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, he moved to Havana at the age of 18, where he played clarinet in a military band and violin at the Tacón Theatre.[1] He taught at the Hubert de Blanck Conservatory and recorded with pianist Federico Edelmann (1795–1848).[1] He composed numerous religious pieces, such as the Gran Misa, as well as chamber music, zarzuelas, contradanzas and fantasías.[2]

His sons also became notable composers and musicians: Jorge Anckermann (1877–1941) and Fernando Anckermann (1890–1933).
