George Sopkin (1914–2008) was an accomplished American cellist known for co-founding the Fine Arts Quartet and teaching at the Kneisel Hall School of Chamber Music in Maine. He began playing the cello at age twelve and joined the Chicago Symphony Orchestra as a teenager. Sopkin served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during WWII and later revived the Fine Arts Quartet in Chicago, relocating to Milwaukee in 1964.
