Leonid Hambro (June 26, 1920, Chicago – October 23, 2006, New York City) was an American concert pianist and composer. He was the son of immigrant Lithuanian Jews; his father was a pianist accompanying silent films. He studied at the Juilliard School, and won First Prize at the National Naumburg Competition in 1946. He was the musical sidekick of Victor Borge for ten years, from 1961 to 1970, and occasionally performed with Borge throughout the remainder of Borge's career. <a href="https://www.
