Life and career[edit]
Steven Lebetkin is a musical descendant of the late Jewish composer Karol Rathaus, a leading early twentieth century film and classical composer that emigrated to America during the Third Reich. Rathaus, a student of Franz Schreker, was a major influence on the three major American composers with whom Lebetkin studied – Gabriel Fontrier, Sol Berkowitz, and Leo Kraft. Lebetkin also studied composition with Hugo Weisgal. He carries the torch of a great European musical composition tradition whose roots go back to Haydn. Lebetkin has a Maasters in Music Composition from Queens College, City University of New York. He is a leading advocate in his works and public presentations to distinguish between harmonic languages and compositional technique, regardless of style, venue, or era. Lebetkin is also an author and lecturer. His lecture series, “What Makes Great Music Great,” takes a fresh approach towards understanding musical composition for the general public, musicians, and media professionals.
