Go Gemma!!

Reverse sexism.
Nooooo! It can not be! Only one left?
Oh, the humanity.
I read this and now I am back in bed. I certainly do not have the strength to face the world, now.
A swinging ponytail is going to be a distraction for the audience as she conducts and possibly the orchestra as well, but I hope she does well.
No worse than Ozawa’s mop or Sir Simon’s… I have no words for his hair.
Anyway, it looks like Gabriel Bebeselea might give her some competition in the hair department; however, they both might well lose to Keitaro Harada’s cheekbones.
I’d say that a ponytail’s movement would be negligible in comparison to a fine conductor’s more compelling movements. I’ve honestly never noticed her hairstyle as there is far more being conveyed in the actual conducting gestures.
