James Dixon (conductor) : ウィキペディア英語版 | James Dixon (conductor) James Dixon (April 26, 1929 – April 3, 2007) was an orchestra conductor and music educator in the United States. During his career he was principally associated with the University of Iowa and the Quad City Symphony Orchestra. ==Early life== James Allen Dixon was born in Estherville, Iowa and raised and educated in Guthrie Center, Iowa. He started working at the age of 11 as a shoe shine boy at a barber shop. He went on to work in a bakery and then for a year as the part owner of a small farm. He conducted his first orchestra on May 8, 1945 in Guthrie Center. Germany had surrendered that day to end World War II in Europe. The orchestra’s conductor was out of town and Dixon volunteered to direct the impromptu concert. Dixon studied conducting at the University of Iowa where he earned a bachelor’s degree in 1952 and a master’s degree in 1956. Between his undergraduate and graduate education he served in the United States Army where he conducted the Seventh Army Symphony in Germany. He studied for nine years under his mentor, the distinguished Greek conductor, pianist, and composer Dimitris Mitropoulos. Mitropoulos made Dixon his heir and left him his scores.
