UCLA Catalog Record ID UCLA Catalog Record ID: 8099172 Biography/History Ernest Fleischmann was born on December 7, 1924 in Frankfurt, Germany. As a boy, his Jewish family immigrated to South Africa, following the rise of Nazism. In 1942, at the age of seventeen, he made his debut as a professional conductor as well as a music critic, conducting numerous performances in South Africa. Fleischmann married architect Elsa Leviseur in 1953, and the marriage eventually ended in divorce. Fleischmann earned an undergraduate degree in accounting from the University of the Witwatersrand and a degree in music from the University of Cape Town in 1954. He held various jobs in music as a conductor and radio producer in South Africa, from 1948-1959, including organizing music for the Johannesburg Festival in 1957. After rejecting an offer from the Cape Town Symphony Orchestra, Fleischmann became the General Manager of the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) in 1959. He left the LSO in 1967 and worked for a short time as the European director of CBS Masterworks Records (1967-1969). In 1969 Fleischmann became Executive Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic (LA Phil) and General Director of the Hollywood Bowl. In 1988 he was promoted to Executive Vice-President and Managing Director of the Los Angeles Finding Aid for the Ernest LSC.2293 2 Fleischmann Papers LSC.2293 Philharmonic Association (LAPA), where he remained until his retirement in 1998. During his tenure, Fleischmann more than doubled the pay for musicians and added a summer season at the Hollywood Bowl. In 1985, Fleischmann was named General Administrator and Artistic Director of the Paris Opera. However, he turned down the post soon after. In 1987, Lillian Disney donated $50 million towards the construction of the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall which eventually opened in 2003. Fleischmann was in charge of selecting conductors for the LA Phil and brought in Carlo Maria Giulini as conductor from 1978 to 1985, who was later replaced by André Previn. Previn had an ongoing feud with Fleischmann and left at the end of 1989. Fleischmann hired Finnish conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen in 1992 and helped recruit his successor, Venezuelan Gustavo Dudamel, who became the LA Phil's conductor in 2009. He retired from LAPA in 1998 after a 29-year tenure. From 1998 to 2003, Fleischmann was the artistic director of the Ojai Music Festival, and also started his own consulting agency for musicians, Fleischmann Arts. On June 13, 2010, Fleischmann died at the age 85 in Los Angeles. He was survived by his three children, Jessica, Stephanie, and Martin.
