The Chicago Symphony Orchestra invites young conductors to apply for a two-year conducting apprenticeship to study with CSO Music Director Riccardo Muti and key guest conductors.
Riccardo Muti is passionate about the need to identify and nurture young conductors. Both he and his distinguished predecessor, Sir Georg Solti (CSO music director 1969-91), followed the same traditional path to their conducting careers through working in the opera house.
Maestro Muti regards the ability to coach and rehearse singers from the keyboard as essential and applications from conductors following this route of artistic development will be especially welcomed.
Age limit 35. Deadline for applications October 1, 2010.
