    Geez, I hate photos like this. One, it’s posed. That’s just embarrassing – and pure vanity. Two, if there were an orchestra in front of her she would be focusing a powerful gesture not towards them, but at the floor. Three, sure, the baton can go behind your back, but how useful is a gesture that the orchestra sees only the last portion of?

    Congratulations Erina, you are a very talented conductor, an incredibly bright woman and a great human being. The future is yours!

    We had not doubt that you would spread your wings and flourish outside of Chicago. Though we are looking forward to seeing you back here as often as possible!

      She has plenty of other photos on her website. This one that is also on of the front page of her site is by far the worst.

    As Adrian Boult would say, “Ah, one of the sweaty ones.”
