Show IV Salt Lake 4E Tribune, Sunday, March 7, 1571 Dean E. Financier photographer-phi'.an'hropist Eggertsen, who imeresurgly avoids the publicity and public recognition that his credentials would suggest, will be honored by the University of Utah Department of Music Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. during the annual Spring Concert of the schools A Cappella Choir at King bury HalL The name Dean E. Eggertsen, if not the man himself, is widely known, as he is the trustee of the S. B. Eggertsen Foundation, one c! the largest donors to the performing and fine arts in Utah. For this reason, said Dr, Newell B. Weight, music department chairman, the forthcoming award is due on sveral levels. One cause for gratitude is most immediate to the university: In the name of the foundation Mr. Eggertsen is the largest donor to date to the schools Music Scholarship Fund, contributing $20,000, because I am extremely interested In young people , . . because of the immense talent and potential here . . . and because of my deep commitment to music." I mis W. Booth, professor of music, representing the department, and Salt Lake City Parks Commissioner Conrad B. Harrison, representing the conunu-- , nity, will make presentations to Mr. Eggerfc. m in the course of the Friday program. , That the financier is so engrossed in the arts, and In music especially, is obvious because of his earlier career as a conductor. He made a successful conducting debut at Carnegie Hall in 1951, and became an international musical pern, .ality while still in his twenties. At the time of Arturo Toscanini's retirement from the NBC Symphony Orchestra of the Air, Mr. Eggertsen as one of the first guest conductors to replace him at Carnegie Hall. In 1958, Mr. Eggertsen retired from the musical stage for reason of ill health. Friday and Saturday, he will return to the conducting post as guest conductor of the U. of U. A Cappella Shy philanthropist Dean Eggertsen returns to arena for honor from music department Choir in readings of Brahms Uebeslieder Waltzea Nos. 9, 6, 1L 16 and 18. . This tjpe of exposure, said Mr. Eggertsen, is of course not in keeping with his naturally retiring" character, but he sees the assignment in terms of a means to rededicate myself and to pay my respects" to both a great cultural heritage and an even brighter future for music at the University of Utah. As a former musical figure, Mr. Eggertsen knows well the brutal, grueling struggle artists fact, and that the degree of perfection they seek la rot often reached because of stumbling blocks, one of wftich is often financial. I am a perfectionist, and many times I was not able to come close to the peifection I sought and had to have," Mr. Eggertsen said. Against this, he turned to business and the resources to assist many American cultural projects. As well, while he received great critical acclaim, often times, he felt, his music d'd not gain that level of perfection 1 required, and those times were personally painful. The S. B. Eggertsen Foundation recently won mass acclaim for its $50,000 grant to Ballet We3t earmarked for new costumes and settings for the 1970 Nutcracker. He is a member of the Board of Trustees and Executive Committee of Ballet West The charitable organization he heads is the largest single cash contributor to the Utah Symphony Orchestras coming tour of Latin America and is a large donor to the Utah Shakespearean Festival and the Chamber Music Society of Salt Lake City. He has done much to improve the facilities of the Salt Lake City Public Library in music, art and general areas. He has made possible an important new research library in art and music in Provo.
