The virtuoso Ida Levin, who played a concerto with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at ten years old and at the White House when she was 18, has died of leukaemia at the age of 53.

At the White House, she was partnered by Rudolf Serkin, 60 years her senior.

A former faculty member at Harvard, Ida taught in recent years at Sandor Vegh’s international academy in Prague.
