About Seymour Lipkin Seymour Austen Lipkin was piano prodigy, acclaimed conductor, and member of the Juilliard faculty for almost 20 years. Lipkin grew up in Detroit and at age 11 went by himself to Philadelphia, where he, and later his sister, began studying at the Curtis Institute of Music. In 1948, he won the Rachmaninoff Fund Piano Contest, beating out Gary Graffman and launching a high-octane career as a recitalist. But since childhood he had always been conducting, and he started his apprenticeship in the 1940s, working under Serge Koussevitsky at Tanglewood, George Szell in Cleveland, and Leonard Bernstein at the New York Philharmonic. He continued practicing the piano for four to six hours a day his whole life and returned to performing, to great acclaim, in the 1990s. His Audiofon recordings with Aaron Rosand are considered some of the best violin and piano recordings of the 20th century.
