This year’s Georg Solti prize goes to a Korean woman

The Solti Foundation US has given its annual $30k grant to conductor Holly Hyun Choe.

She’s a former assistant to Paavo Järvi and Gustavo Dudamel, now conducting the chamber orchestra Ensemble Reflektor. From next year she will be chief conductor of the Norwegian Radio Orchestra.

Chloe said: ‘Accepting this award is truly life-changing, not just for the recognition, but as a promise to myself to continue striving towards an utmost dedication to the arts, following in the footsteps of Sir Georg Solti, whose life’s work was deeply rooted in reaching the highest level of music-making and profundity in the power of music.’
