BSO Pension Fund. 23 January 1979 On Tuesday, 23 January 1979 at 8 PM, world-renowned conductor Sir Georg Solti will appear for the first time with the Boston Symphony Orchestra leading this season's Pension Fund concert. He has chosen two works for his program, Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra and the Brahms First Symphony. Music Director of the Chicago Symphony since 1969, Sir Georg began his con- ducting career with the Budapest Opera, assisted Arturo Toscanini at the 1937 Salzburg Festival, and went on to assume leadership of the Bavarian State Opera, the Frankfurt Opera, and the Royal Opera, Covent Garden. He was recently appointed Principal Conductor and Artistic Director of the London Philhar- monic, marking a thirty-year association with that orchestra, and he is also Musical Advisor and Principal Guest Conductor of the Paris Opera. Tickets for this very special concert are available at the Symphony Hall box office; prices are $15, $12, $9 and $7. Belt men s and women's sizes. Seiji Ozawa In the fall of 1973, Seiji Ozawa became the thirteenth Music Director of the Bos- ton Symphony Orchestra since the Orchestra's founding in 1881. Born in Shenyang, China in 1935 to Japanese parents, Mr. Ozawa studied both Western and Oriental music as a child and later graduated from Tokyo's Toho School of Music with first prizes in composition and conducting. In the fall of 1959 he won first prize at the Inter- national Competition of Orchestra Conductors, Besancon, France. Charles Munch, then Music Director of the Boston Symphony and a judge at the competition, invited him to Tanglewood for the summer following, and he there won the Berkshire Music Center's high- est honor, the Koussevitzky Prize for outstanding student conductor. While working with Herbert von Karajan in West Berlin, Mr. Ozawa came to the attention of Leonard Bernstein, whom he accompanied on the New York Philhar- monic's spring 1961 Japan tour, and he was made an Assistant Conductor of that orchestra for the 1961-62 season. His first professional concert appearance in North America came in January 1962 with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. He was Music Director of the Chicago Symphony's Ravinia Festival for five summers beginning in 1963, and Music Director for four seasons of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, a post he relinquished at the end of the 1968-69 season in favor of guest conducting numerous American and European orchestras. Seiji Ozawa first conducted the Boston Symphony in Symphony Hall in January of 1968; he had previously appeared with the Orchestra at Tanglewood, where he was made an Artistic Director in 1970. In December of that year he began his inaugural season as Conductor and Music Director of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. The Music Directorship of the Boston Symphony followed in 1973, and Mr. Ozawa resigned his San Francisco position in the spring of 1976, remaining Honorary Conductor there for the 1976-77 season. As Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Mr. Ozawa has strength- ened the Orchestra's reputation internationally as well as at home. In February/ March 1976, he conducted concerts in Amsterdam, Brussels, Vienna, Munich, Berlin, London, and Paris on the Orchestra's European tour. In March 1978 he brought the Orchestra to Japan, leading thirteen concerts in nine cities, an occasion hailed by critics as a triumphal return by Mr. Ozawa to his homeland. Then, at the invitation of the People's Republic of China, he spent a week working with the Pe- king Central Philharmonic Orchestra, and became the first foreigner in many years to lead concerts in China. Mr. Ozawa pursues an active international career and appears regularly with the orchestras of Berlin, Paris, and Japan.

  • Jennifer Higdon-Large Full
    Pulitzer Prize and two-time Grammy-winner Jennifer Higdon (b. Brooklyn, NY, December 31, 1962) taught herself to play flute at the age of 15 and began formal musical studies at 18, with an even later start in composition at the age of 21. Despite these obstacles, Jennifer has become a major figure in contemporary Classical music. Her works represent a wide range of genres, from orchestral to chamber, to wind ensemble, as well as vocal, choral and opera. Her music has been hailed by Fanfare Magazine as having “the distinction of being at once complex, sophisticated but readily accessible emotionally”, with the Times of London citing it as “…traditionally rooted, yet imbued with integrity and freshness.” The League of American Orchestras reports that she is one of America's most frequently performed composers. Higdon's list of commissioners is extensive and includes The Philadelphia Orchestra, The Chicago Symphony, The Atlanta Symphony, The Cleveland Orchestra, The Minnesota Orchestra, The Pittsburgh Symphony, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, as well such groups as the Tokyo String Quartet, the Lark Quartet, Eighth Blackbird, and the President’s Own Marine Band. She has also written works for such artists as baritone Thomas Hampson, pianists Yuja Wang and Gary Graffman, violinists Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, Jennifer Koh and Hilary Hahn. Her first opera, Cold Mountain, won the prestigious International Opera Award for Best World Premiere in 2016; the first American opera to do so in the award’s history. Performances of Cold Mountain sold out its premiere run in Santa Fe, North Carolina, and Philadelphia (becoming the third highest selling opera in Opera Philadelphia’s history).
