- Sony chairman Norio Ohga is also a conductor. “When I was 60 years old I started conducting. I was invited to the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival,” recalls Ohga. “Our recording group recorded all my concerts [and] they decided to release a CD. Lorin Maazel heard this CD and immediately he wrote me a letter [saying], ‘You are such a wonderful musician, and I wish to invite you to the Pittsburgh Symphony.'” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
