Women conductors competition is kicked down the road

The first international competition for female conductors has been postponed after jurors were prevented by the virus crisis from reaching Paris this weekend.

Press statement.
In view of the current international situation relating to the spread of COVID-19 which would have prevented several candidates and members of the jury to come to Paris, the Paris Mozart Orchestra and Philharmonie de Paris have made the decision to postpone the inaugural LA MAESTRA International Competition for Women Conductors due to take place at the Philharmonie de Paris between 16-19 March 2020. The inaugural LA MAESTRA Competition will now take place from Tuesday 15 until Friday 18 September 2020 at the Philharmonie de Paris.
