Ralph Berkowitz (September 5, 1910 – August 2, 2011)[1] was an American composer, classical musician, and painter.
His father was instrumental in shaping young Ralph's musical culture and experience.
Other musical partners included the tenor Jan Peerce, cellist Felix Salmond, and violinist and composer George Enescu.
Illustrious students in those years included Zubin Mehta, Lorin Maazel and Claudio Abbado.
He, along with Boston Symphony manager Todd Perry, was largely instrumental in keeping the Tanglewood Festival alive following Koussevitsky's death.
