Culver City Symphony Returns With Spotlight on

Finalists for New Music Director/Conductor 

​
​The Culver City Symphony Orchestra is making musical

news with its first full season since the pandemic and a

major talent search for a new conductor.
 
Recovering from the loss of Frank Fetta, our iconic music

director and conductor of over 40 years, the symphony

leaders have chosen three acclaimed maestros to vie for

his position. The Orchestra has had only two music

directors in the six decades since it was founded.

The three finalists for the position are all noted music world

​figures in their own right. 

​Maxim Kuzin, a native of Ukraine, conducted the first concert of the season on Dec. 10, 2022 featuring the work of Ukrainian composer Mykola Lysenko. Kuzin is the current Music Director of the Thousand Oaks Philharmonic and spent 19 years conducting professional and student orchestras, opera companies and choirs in Ukraine, Eastern Europe and the United States. He also conducted the orchestra for the popular “Dancing With The Stars” show in Ukraine. 

​The next finalist is Clyde Mitchell, founding director of both the Lions Gate Sinfonia and the Lions Gate Youth Orchestra of North Vancouver Canada. He will conduct the second concert on February 11, 2023. He has been a guest conductor for all of Canada’s major orchestras as well as engagements in Europe, Asia, South America and the United States while living in Southern California. 

​The third finalist is Steven Allen Fox who will wrap up the season with a concert tentatively scheduled for June. He has an extensive background in conducting and composing for a wide range of musical styles including film scores and pop music.  He is the founding Artistic Director/ Conductor of the Golden State Pops Orchestra and made his Walt Disney Concert Hall debut conducting the inaugural performance of the Los Angeles Film Orchestra.  He has also conducted the San Francisco Symphony, City of Prague Philharmonic and Orquesta Sinfonics de Tenerife.
