    • Synopsis
    • How should we live? A question asked by philosophers and the masses alike, and one which Seymour Bernstein has been cultivating an answer to over 50 years of piano-playing.

      Bernstein, the octogenarian master pianist, choose to forgo a promising career as a concert pianist in order to teach thus revealing his profound world-view, a breathtakingly clear-headed perspective on art, personal commitment to it and the overarching and essential value extending beyond and into all aspects of life.
