Wonderful news! We’ve known Karina since she was a violin student at Curtis. She worked her tail off and it’s such a pleasure to see her succeeding as a conductor.
I remember being impressed by her violin playing at Marlboro. I think that shining at Marlboro is a very big deal. If she is as good a conductor as she is a violinist, we are in for a treat.
More important than being a woman: she is talented.
More important than being talented: “She worked her tail off.”
And brother Nick is a terrific cellist….(not exactly relevant, but I’m adding anyway).
The Nobel Prize Concert, not ceremony.
What does this mean?
I am sure the Nobel Committee would consider the idea seriously.
And my dog is a German shepherd. Also very relevant in this context.
Why the photo of the soloist, when the story is about the conductor?
You really think the Russians give a damn ?
Why does it always say „Woman conductor“ in the headline(s) and never the artist name?
I was thinking exactly the same. Sexism lives!!
