hands. Young Seymour made his
first professional appearance
here with the Civic Orchestra in
1938 at the age of eleven.
That year he entered Curtis
Institute in Philadelphia, where
he studied with Rudolf Serkin
for several years. He spent his
summers at the Berkshire Music
Center studying conducting with
Serge Koussevitzky. In 1947 he
became apprentice-conductor
and pianist for the Cleveland
Symphony under George Szell.
He distinguished himself as a
budding conductor with the or-
ganization and had like success
with the Cleveland Symphony,
the Cleveland Little Symphony
and the Curtis Institute Orch-
estra. Lipkin's talent extends
also to opera, having served as
, coach with the Philadelphia Op-
- era Company • at the age of 16.
