About the conductor Eugene Goossens

Sir Eugene Goossens was the third member of the illustrious Goossens family - Leon and Sidonie being the others. After leaving the Royal College of Music (1907-1912) he became a violinist with the Queen's Hall Orchestra (1912-15) before becoming an assistant to Sir Thomas Beecham. He had a gift for assimilating difficult scores and gave London premieres of Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps and works by Honegger, Milhaud and Poulenc with his own orchestra. In 1923, he accepted the directorship of the Rochester Philharmonic (1923-1931) in the US before moving to Cincinnati (1931-1946). In 1946, he rejected an invitation to become Music Director of the Royal Opera House and instead accepted the position of Chief Conductor of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and Director of the New South Wales Conservatorium. Goossens was knighted in 1955 but in 1956 he returned to Britain where he continued to conduct and record in Europe. He died on 13 June 1962.
