They’re conductors of orchestras, not only of women. Shouldn’t the header read: ‘Two more orchestral conductors on the move’?
I know, lot of people will agree – the profession of conductor is not more a thing about music. It’s about trends (I’m not against women conductors), which are praised by us, the audience. So we just flow in this «river of hopelessness»
Women Conductors? Shouldn’t you then also specify “men conductors “? Does the music change accordingly?
It will be “women conductors” because of the word “conductor” has been always affiliated with men’s world. It will be “women conductors” because of the word “conductor” has been always affiliated with men’s world.
Here comes a suggestion: stop using the term “women conductors”. Kamela Harris isn’t a “woman Vice President”. Angela Merkel was not a “woman Chancellor”. And Anja Bihlmaier and Lucie Leguay are not “women conductors”, they are conductors.
Won’t amount to a hill of beans.
I hope you call male conductors “male conductors”, not just “conductors”
Oh sorry, I mean not “male conductors” but “men conductors”
Let’s just focus on conductors’ musicality and leadership abilities rather than their genders. All the best to Bihlmaier and Leguay, whose work I’ve not yet heard.
Congratulations tutti!
tutte
Sadly women in their 50s are considered too old for agents. Now we are seeing lots of “women” conductors because its trendy.
Call me old fashioned but I still prefer seeing an old white male orchestral conductor on the podium and I am not Caucasian.
Conducting is set to become an all women profession
