RICCARDO<br />
MUTI<br />
conductor<br />
<strong>Riccardo</strong> <strong>Muti</strong> is one of <strong>the</strong> world’s preeminent<br />
conductors. In 2010, he became<br />
<strong>the</strong> tenth music director of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Chicago</strong><br />
<strong>Symphony</strong> <strong>Orchestra</strong>. <strong>Muti</strong>’s leadership<br />
has been distinguished by <strong>the</strong> strength of<br />
his artistic partnership <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Orchestra</strong>;<br />
his dedication to performing great works<br />
of <strong>the</strong> past and present, including 15 world<br />
premieres to date; <strong>the</strong> enthusiastic reception<br />
he and <strong>the</strong> CSO have received on national<br />
and international tours; and eleven<br />
recordings on <strong>the</strong> CSO Resound label,<br />
<strong>with</strong> three Grammy awards among <strong>the</strong>m.<br />
In addition, his contributions to <strong>the</strong> cultural<br />
life of <strong>Chicago</strong>—<strong>with</strong> performances<br />
throughout its many neighborhoods and at<br />
<strong>Orchestra</strong> Hall—have made a lasting impact<br />
on <strong>the</strong> city.<br />
Born in Naples, <strong>Riccardo</strong> <strong>Muti</strong> studied<br />
piano under Vincenzo Vitale at <strong>the</strong> Conservatory<br />
of San Pietro a Majella, graduating<br />
<strong>with</strong> distinction. He subsequently received<br />
a diploma in composition and conducting<br />
from <strong>the</strong> Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in<br />
Milan under <strong>the</strong> guidance of Bruno Bettinelli<br />
and Antonino Votto.<br />
He first came to <strong>the</strong> attention of critics<br />
and <strong>the</strong> public in 1967, when he won<br />
<strong>the</strong> Guido Cantelli Conducting Competition,<br />
by unanimous vote of <strong>the</strong> jury, in Milan. In<br />
1968, he became principal conductor of <strong>the</strong><br />
Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, a position he<br />
held until 1980. In 1971, <strong>Muti</strong> was invited by<br />
Herbert von Karajan to conduct at <strong>the</strong> Salzburg<br />
Festival, <strong>the</strong> first of many occasions,<br />
which led to a celebration of fifty years of<br />
artistic collaboration <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> Austrian festival<br />
in 2020. During <strong>the</strong> 1970s, <strong>Muti</strong> was<br />
chief conductor of London’s Philharmonia<br />
<strong>Orchestra</strong> (1972–1982) succeeding Otto<br />
