1959

In 1959 he joined the Curtis Quartet of Philadelphia and toured with them across the United States for the next five years.

In later years he was to state, "the string quartet has been the prime, basic factor of my entire musical philosophy."

Within two months of his arrival in 1964, he organised the American Youth Symphony with students from all the universities in Los Angeles.

Under his dedicated leadership the orchestra grew to its current size of 110 young musicians, ages 16–27, from all over Los Angeles and the surrounding areas.
