Leonard
Eisner was born in Brooklyn, New York on June 29th, 1920. After graduating from
Juilliard and a stint in the army, Eisner made his professional debut in 1946 at
Town Hall in New York City. This led to an extensive touring career that took
him all over North America, Europe and Japan. Aside from performing, Eisner was
also an accomplished teacher. He was a faculty member at the Carnegie Institute
of Technology and the Usdan Center for the Arts. He was also an affiliate
teacher at SUNY-Purchase and had adjunct faculty appointments at Hunter College
and Queens College. He was also a member of the piano faculty at Juilliard's
Pre-College division, part of a 63-year association with the school. Eisner died
in 1991.
