About the Performer
Seth Carlin began his career at the age of nine with a broadcast over radio station WNYC in New York, performing a work written especially for him. Although he continued to perform, it was only after a period of study in Paris, on leave from Harvard College, that Carlin decided on a career in music. He has appeared with the Saint Louis Symphony and the Boston Pops, in recital with Pinchas Zukerman and Anner Bylsma, and the Marlboro Music Festival and the Newport Music Festival in Rhode Island.
Seth Carlin was prizewinner in the International Busoni Competition, and received a recitalist grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1989. He holds degrees from Harvard University, the Juilliard School, and the Ecole Normale de Musique in Paris, and has studied piano with Rosina Lhevinne, Jules Gentil, and Morton Estrin.
Carlin is Professor of Music at Washington University in St. Louis.
