Donated by the Neuganee Foundation, the gift will fund and enhance the pre-established Neuganee Conducting Program.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s going on:<\/strong> On August 12th, the Colburn School <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colburnschool.edu\/press\/negaunee-foundation-endows-conducting-program\/\">announced<\/a> receipt of a $16.6 million gift from the Neuganee Foundation. The gift will help to fortify its already established Negaunee Conducting Program, led by Finnish conductor and composer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esapekkasalonen.com\/\">Esa-Pekka Salonen<\/a>. The program fosters the careers of 2 exceptional young conductors under Salonen\u2019s mentorship. Announced as this year\u2019s Salonen Fellow is the Turkish-German conductor, pianist and composer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfsymphony.org\/About-SFS\/Press-Room\/Press-Releases\/Mert-Yalniz-Salonen-Fellow-2024-25\">Mert Yalniz<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell me more\u2026:<\/strong> Alumni of the Negaunee Conducting Program now hold positions with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, the Memphis Symphony Orchestra, as well as the San Francisco Symphony, where Salonen is music director.<\/p>\n<p>Another addition to the Colburn School\u2019s conducting program will be Esa-Pekka Salonen\u2019s extensive annotated score collection. Featuring over 1,400 works from throughout the conductor\u2019s storied career, the collection also includes works by contemporary composers as well as Salonen\u2019s original compositions. Not a bad reason for young conductors to move to Tinseltown.<\/p>\n<p><em>Updated [Aug. 20, 2024].
