“Yaniv Dinur has been named as the recipient of the 2019 Sir Georg Solti Conducting Award by The Solti Foundation U.S., recognizing the talent and ongoing development of the young associate conductor of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra,” writes David Schuyler in Monday’s (3/11) Milwaukee Business Journal. “The Solti Fellow, as the award is also known, comes with a grant of $30,000 that recipients can use to further their careers. Being named a Solti Fellow also provides door-opening introductions to renowned organizations like the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Lyric Opera of Chicago. ‘Yaniv Dinur is a young conductor whose career we have followed closely since first awarding him a Career Assistance Award in 2016. It is with pleasure that we announce him as the 2019 Solti Fellow,’ said Penny Van Horn, board chair of The Solti Foundation U.S…. Dinur … also music director of the New Bedford Symphony Orchestra in Massachusetts … can use the financial grant in various ways…. He’ll also have access to experts and mentors from all areas of the classical music industry. The Solti Foundation U.S., in Evanston, Illinois, is … named after the legendary conductor Sir Georg Solti.”
