Gary Graffman

Gary Graffman (October 14, 1928 – December 27, 2025) was an American classical pianist, teacher and administrator. After he lost control of his right hand, he gave the UK premiere of Korngold's Piano Concerto for the left hand in 1985, and had seven left-hand works commissioned for him. He became teacher, and later director and president of the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia where he had studied as a boy.
