His father's sisters were poet Katherine Garrison Chapin and sculptor Cornelia Van Auken Chapin; his father's half-sister was publisher Marguerite Caetani.
Schuyler Garrison Chapin (February 13, 1923 – March 7, 2009) was a General Manager of the Metropolitan Opera, and later Commissioner of Cultural Affairs for New York City during the administration of Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
He also served as the dean of the Columbia University School of the Arts.
Schuyler Garrison Chapin was born on February 13, 1923.
While still a teenager, in the 1930s, he began accompanying millionaire widow and former actress Eleanor Belmont to the Metropolitan Opera.
He attended the Millbrook School in 1940, where he was very active in the performing and musical arts, however, he did not graduate from high school, nor college, but was the recipient of numerous university honors.
He became a pilot during World War II.
On March 15, 1947, he married his first wife, Elizabeth Steinway (1925-1993).
Steinway was the daughter of Theodore E. Steinway and Ruth (née Davis) Steinway.
The Steinways were descendants of Henry E. Steinway (the founder of Steinway & Sons).
Chapin's best man was his uncle by marriage, Francis Biddle, the former United States Attorney General.
Together, they had four sons:
By 1953, he had become Jascha Heifetz's tour manager.
In 1963, he was named vice-president of Lincoln Center and co-founded the Film Society of Lincoln Center in 1969.
Around this time, he also befriended Leonard Bernstein, several of whose live recordings, including the Grammy award-winning Beethoven's Birthday (1970), Chapin produced.
In 1972, he accepted the position of General Manager of the Metropolitan Opera after the previous GM, Göran Gentele, died in a car accident before the opening of his first season.
Chapin stayed on at the Met for four years, subsequently becoming Dean of Columbia University's Graduate School of the Arts.
During Chapin's tenure at Columbia, enrollment doubled, and he raised $7 million and strengthened the fine-arts curriculum.
He remained there for 10 years, being kept on as Dean emeritus.
After his wife died in 1993, Chapin met and married his second wife, divorcee Catia Zoullas Mortimer, in 1995.
