Clarence
Adler was an American musician from Cincinnati, Ohio. He was a pianist, and a
soloist for many leading orchestras in the United States and abroad. He was the
private music instructor for composer Aaron Copland. Adler was born in
Cincinnati to German Jewish immigrants. He won a scholarship to the College of
Music of Cincinnati (later part of UC’s CCM) at age 12. After he turned 18 he
went to Europe for further study and found success and acclaim as the pianist
in a famous trio. He returned to Cincinnati and continued his ensemble
endeavors. In 1913 he moved to New York City and taught at the Institute of
Musical Art (later part of Juilliard) and gave over 60 private lessons a week,
influencing the lives of many musicians. In addition to Aaron Copland, Adler
taught Walter Hendl, Richard Rodgers, and Hazel Ghazarian Skaggs. He formed a
music colony at Lake Placid, NY which acted as a retreat, teaching center, and
concert venue for 40 years. The College of Music of Cincinnati awarded Adler an
honorary doctorate for his dedication.
