Eugene Ormandy (1899-1985) was a world-renowned conductor, who was associated with The Philadelphia Orchestra for 44 years beginning in 1936. Ormandy was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Richard Nixon in 1970. In 1973, he conducted the first American symphony to perform in the People's Republic of China to audiences that had been isolated from Western classical music for decades.
