ABOUT SYMPHONY SYMPHONY COLLECTION SALES TEAM EDITORIALS SYMPHONY NEWS COLLECTION
Born in Brooklyn in 1927, Native New Yorker Seymour D. Schneiderman began his lifelong career with Symphony Fabrics while still in high school, working part-time as a delivery boy after school. The original two partners recognized a unique loyalty and sound business sense in Seymour early on and steadily rewarded him with promotions to more significant positions - all while Seymour pursued his college education at night. In the early 1960’s, Seymour became a partner of Symphony Fabrics and in 1966 fully acquired the company, leading it to its prominence in the marketplace today.

Seymour’s commitment to his community and charitable causes is just as strong as it is to Symphony Fabrics. He has not only contributed money, but also his time as fund-raising chairman for various charities. He is a benefactor to scholarships both at New York University and Fashion Institute of Technology and serves on the board of Directors of the American Committee for Shenkar College in Israel, Inc. Other affiliations include being a member of the American Arbitration Association and the Textile Distributors Association.
Symphony Fabrics has been the recipient of numerous “Tommy” Awards and has also received awards of recognition from DuPont for Design, creativity, and excellence in Production of fabrics with Lycra.
