Sean Kubota won the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s first International Sir Georg Solti Conducting Competition and Apprenticeship.
The 29-year-old Japanese conductor will receive a two-season apprenticeship, which includes a minimum of four weeks a year in Chicago studying with music director Riccardo Muti and conductor emeritus Pierre Boulez, along with key guest conductors of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
The creation of the CSO’s International Sir Georg Solti Conducting Competition and Apprenticeship was announced by Riccardo Muti in October 2009 as part of his larger vision that includes building on the CSO’s great tradition of training young musicians.
