Girls Week 2/2: Marin Alsop made history in 2007 as the first woman to be appointed music director of a major American orchestra (Baltimore). She was “honoured to be the first”, but “shocked that we can be in this year, in this century, and there can still be ‘firsts’ for women”.

[Elkins Pointe Bands @EPMSBands]

Girls Week Tues: (1/2) JoAnn Falletta has been named one of Today's Best Women Conductors by Classic FM. Acclaimed by The New York Times as "one of the finest conductors of her generation", Mrs Burkhart actually got to play under her baton when they were both in Buffalo!
