Boy Conductor Makes London Debut With 10 Minute Ovation
Oliver Krussen at 15 conducts his own symphony with the London Symphony Orchestra in a premiere that drew a record ten minute ovation. He becomes the youngest British composer to have a work played by professionals and lead the performance himself. His father Stuart Knussen watched proudly as the young conductor, six feet three, received repeated calls back to the rostrum. Oliver expressed elation, saying nothing went wrong and it was the happiest night of his life. The piece took six months to compose and a year to revise amid strong support from the orchestra. Violinist Brian Thomas praised his professionalism and the ensemble carried on with confidence. In Harrisburg, Pa, the Pennsylvania State Education Association House of Delegates voted to blacklist the state for failing to meet salary demands, criticizing Governor Shafer and the Legislature for not raising minimum salaries from 4500 to 6000 by 1970.
