'''Dimitri Mitropoulos''' ({{langx|el|Δημήτρης Μητρόπουλος}}; {{OldStyleDate|1 March|1896|18 February}}<ref>The dates 18 February 1896 and 1 March 1896 both appear in the literature.  Many of Mitropoulos's early interviews and program notes gave 18 February. In his later interviews, however, the conductor said he was born on 1 March, and most American sources also show this birthdate. The reason for the different dates is that Greece was still using the [[Julian calendar]] in 1896, and did not adopt the [[Gregorian calendar]] until 1923, when Mitropulos was 27. By then, the calendars were 13 days apart, but in 1896 they were only 12 days apart.  The date 18 February 1896 under the Julian calendar corresponded to 1 March 1896 in the Gregorian. The earlier sources used the original Julian calendar date, and the later sources used the equivalent Gregorian date.</ref> – 2 November 1960) was a Greek and American conductor, pianist, and composer.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Hill |first=Brad |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9rKsR6NeulcC&pg=PA156 |title=Classical |date=2005 |publisher=Infobase Publishing |isbn=978-0-8160-6976-7 |pages=156 |language=en}}</ref>
