Who are the “Seniors” ?

The artistic directorate, in agreement with Seiji Ozawa and the tutors, selects “seniors” from among the former students. This small group of very talented musicians is involved in running the Academy. All of them have worked with Seiji Ozawa. The Academy may decide to give them artistic responsibilities. Julien Szulman is head of the Selection Committee and Suyeon Kim is Concert Master, first violin of the orchestral ensemble.
