Life and career

Born in Kharkov, Russia (now Kharkiv, Ukraine), Berlin began his professional musical education at the Sebastopol Conservatory. From 1923-1925 he attended the Conservatoire de Genève and then pursued further studies at the Berlin Hochschule für Musik where he was a pupil of Mark Hambourg and Leonid Kreutzer. He began his career in Europe performing as a concert pianist, mainly in Germany and Switzerland.[1]

Berlin first came to Canada in 1925 when he toured the Ontario region in chamber music concerts with a trio. He liked Canada so much that he decided to take a teaching position at the on the piano faculty at the Hambourg Conservatory of Music in Toronto where he remained through 1927. In 1928 he joined the piano faculty at the Toronto Conservatory of Music (now The Royal Conservatory of Music) where he remained for several decades. From this point on his career was mainly focused on his work as a piano pedagogue. He became a naturalized Canadian citizen in 1931. In 1970 he joined the faculty of the University of Toronto. He also served as examiner, lecturer, and festival adjudicator throughout his career. Among his notable pupils are the classical pianists Louis Applebaum, Gwen Beamish MacMillan, Victor Alexeeff, Bernadene Blaha, Keith MacMillan, Andrew Markow, Christina Petrowska-Quilico, Dorothy Sandler, Geraldine Shuster Leder, Adrienne Shannon, Peter C. Simon, Lydia Wong, and the jazz pianists Norman Amadio and Rudy Toth.[1] He composed many pieces including "March of the Goblins" and "Monkeys in the tree".

The Royal Conservatory of Music named Berlin a "Heritage Teacher" in a ceremony on 6 April 1990.

In 1992 he was awarded the 125th Anniversary of the Confederation of Canada Medal and was made a Member of the Order of Ontario. In 2000 he became an Officer of the Order of Canada, but died in March 2001 in Toronto before the ceremony honouring him with this title was held.[1]
