And this os the one-and-only maestro whose name they are traducing.
Let us remember that this is a online competition. No orchestra will be conducted. The only matter of discussion will be videos. Let that sink.
This is not a conducting competition.
Is a competition about “who has the best video while conducting”.
Poor guys have just wasted money… and the women are just more intelligent abd they got it!
It is an absolutely lie!
The list of the names above has very talented women conductors in it! The writer of the news has to do a better research before publicly announcing anything!
