Together with Stravinsky they were to remain his chief musical influences. . He studied with Piston at Harvard . Later studies were with Blacher at the Berlin Musikhochschule (1961) and Sessions and Earl Kim at Princeton (MFA 1963). Very decisive for Harbison was a summer (1963) spent at the Santa Fe Opera Co. at the invitation of Sessions, where the complete operas of Stravinsky were being rehearsed and performed in the presence of the composer."
