Lady Valerie Solti is the widow of Sir Georg Solti (a world-renowned orchestral and operatic conductor). She was one of the BBC’s original team of television presenters during the 1950s. She also worked at Granada Television.

Lady Solti is the patroness of the World Orchestra for Peace, which her husband founded and whose first concert at the United Nations he conducted. In addition, she has devoted time to other cultural organizations, including the Sadler’s Wells Theatre Trust, the Mariinsky Theatre Trust, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Musica Nel Chiostro, Battignano Italy, the Hungarian Cultural Centre (London), Liszt Academy (Budapest), and the W11 Opera childrens’ opera company in London. After Solti’s death, Lady Solti, Gabrielle Solti and Claudia Solti began the Solti Foundation to assist young musicians.
