Seigi Ozawa: Thanks for the melody

Seigi Ozawa, who for years led the Boston Symphony Orchestra, has died.

After working with the San Francisco Symphony and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra in Canada, Ozawa became artistic director of the Tanglewood music festival in the United States in 1970. From 1973, he served as music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra

as students we used to go to Tanglewood and listen to the music there. My brother lived nearby and was an usher and could get free tickets for the lawn seating.
