He is the thirteenth conductor of the Orchestra since its founding in 1881. He was born in Shenyang, China 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 Besancon, 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, Tchaikovsky's Symphony No.

INCONCERT 39 TONIGHT’S CONCERT AT A GLANCE OLIVIER MESSIAEN Turangalîla-Symphonie • French composer Messiaen occupies a singular role as a trailblazer for the avant-garde who was at the same time profoundly respectful of Western musical tradition. He created a wholly original body of work, of which Turangalîla-Symphonie and The Quartet for the End of Time are his best-known compositions. The latter work was written while he was held in a German prisoner-of-war camp during World War II. • Messiaen’s influence has been profound, extending not only to his students Pierre Boulez and Karlheinz Stockhausen, who would go on to revolutionize modern music, but also to popular artists including Rufus Wainwright and Radiohead, whose music owes a particular debt to the composer.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract The musical life of interwar France (1919-39) has fascinated many writers; however, the part played by women musicians has been much neglected. This thesis seeks to rectify this situation by presenting a study of the activities and reception of the musiciennes of interwar France. The thesis is divided into three parts: part one provides a contextual framework within which to situate the pursuits of women musicians by considering both their contemporary social position and the gender- specific conditions which affect the lives, careers, and reception of musiciennes. Part two focuses on conductors and composers. Jane Evrard and her Orchestre feminin de Paris are discussed within the context of the contemporaneous development of the all­ woman orchestra and rise of the first professional female conductors.
