ACCLAIMED Japanese conductor Seiji Ozawa said yesterday he wants to use the time he "has been given by God" after surviving cancer to teach the next generation of musicians.
The 77-year-old, who underwent surgery for cancer of the oesophagus in 2010 and was treated for a hernia in 2011, said he will invite 24 of Asia's most talented young string players to attend his chamber music academy in Japan. Ahead of his full-scale comeback planned in August, he will conduct Tchaikovsky's "Serenade for Strings" in July during concerts that will mark the end of the Ozawa International Chamber Music Academy Okushiga, Asia.
The concerts, in which young talent from Japan, Singapore, Chinese mainland and Taiwan will play under his baton, will take place in Nagano on July 28 and 29 and in Tokyo on July 31.
"I have been lucky. It was a serious illness," Ozawa told reporters in Tokyo yesterday. "I think the time I have has been given by God, so I am making good use of it."
Ozawa's first full-scale engagement since January last year will be Maurice Ravel's opera "The Child and the Spells" in August in Japan.
