"...boldly carved, formidable in articulation, bright in tone, inspired in sensibility...(Serkin's) profundity makes him a paragon among pianists of the mid-20th century." -The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians

Seiji Ozawa is now in his twenty-second season as music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Ozawa became the BSO's thirteenth music director in 1973 after a year as music adviser. His tenure with the Boston Symphony is the longest of any music director currently active with an American orchestra. In his more than two decades as music director, Mr. Ozawa has maintained the orchestra's distinguished reputation both at home and abroad with concerts at Symphony Hall and Tanglewood, on tours to Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, China and South America-an across the United States-including regular concerts in New York. Mr. Ozawa has upheld the BSO's commitment to new music through the commissioning of new works, including a series of centennial commissions marking the orchestra's hundredth birthday in 1981, and a series of works celebrating the fiftieth anniversary in 1990 of the Tanglewood Music Center, the orchestra's summer training program for young musicians. In addition, he has recorded more than 130 works with the orchestra, representing more than fifty different composers on ten labels.
