20 Jun Indian American Conductors Named 2017 Solti Award Recipients
Orange County, Calif.-based Pacific Symphony’s assistant conductor Roger Kalia and San Diego, Calif.-based Sameer Patel, associate conductor of the San Diego Symphony, are among nine conductors to have received the 2017 Solti Foundation U.S. Career Assistance Award. The Indian American conductors have both won the honor in the past.
The award supports and encourages young musicians in the early stages of their classical careers.
Co-founder and music director of the Lake George Music Festival in upstate New York, and music director of Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra, Kalia is only the second assistant conductor in the Pacific Symphony’s history to have his contract extended for two additional years.
