Council on the Arts & Humanities a The bestofthe bundi UnionV\feirren Savings Bank Seiji Ozawa Seiji Ozawa became Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in the fall of 1973. He is the thirteenth conductor of the Orchestra since its founding in 1881. He was born in Hoten, Manchuria in 1935, and studied both Western and Oriental music as a child. He attended Toho School of Music in Tokyo and graduated with first prizes in composition and conducting. Shortly after his graduation, he won first prize at the International Competition of Conducting at Besanc^on, France, and was invited by Charles Munch, then Music Director of the Boston Symphony and a judge at the competition, to spend a summer studying at Tanglewood. In 1964 and for the next five seasons, Mr. Ozawa was Music Director of the Ravinia Festival. At the beginning of the 1965-66 season he became Music Director of the Toronto Symphony, a position he relinquished four seasons later to study and guest conduct. In 1970 he accepted the position of Artistic Director of the Berkshire Music Festival, and in December of the same year he began his inaugural season as Conductor and Music Director of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, titles that he held concurrently with his position as Music Director of the Boston Symphony. In the spring of 1976 he resigned his San Francisco position although he remained Honorary Conductor for the 1976-77 season. Mr. Ozawa pursues an active international career and is a regular and favorite guest conductor with the Berlin Philharmonic, the Orchestre de Paris, and at the Salzburg Festival each year. He has conducted at Covent Garden, and returns to Japan annually to conduct the New Japan Philharmonic and other orchestras. The newest items on his large and growing discography with the Boston Symphony, are Bartok's Miraculous Mandarin Suite, and Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celeste, and Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 (all on Deutsche Grammophon), and Roger Sessions's When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd New World Records).
