(6974) Solti is an asteroid of the main belt , which on 27 June 1992 by the American astronomer Henry E. Holt at Palomar Observatory ( IAU code 675) in California was discovered.

The asteroid was named on September 26, 2007 after the Hungarian - British conductor Sir Georg Solti (1912–1997), who led the Chicago Symphony Orchestra from 1969 to 1991 and who was one of the most important conductors of the Vienna Philharmonic .
