Pierre Benjamin Monteux (4 April 1875 – 1 July 1964) was a French (later American) conductor. After violin and viola studies, and a decade as an orchestral player and occasional conductor, he began to receive regular conducting engagements in 1907. He came to prominence when, for Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes company between 1911 and 1914, he conducted the world premieres ofStravinsky's The Rite of Spring and other prominent works including Petrushka, Ravel'sDaphnis et Chloé, and Debussy's Jeux. Thereafter he directed orchestras around the world for more than half a century.  [source from Wikipedia]
