    Other Female Conductors...

    And how about Imogene Holst? Dalia Atlas? Nadia Boulanger? and some others here and there... Exceptions that prove the rule I guess.

    What's odd is when they dress up in tuxes with ties to do it.

    Are there any statistics about women in conducting programs in conservatories?

    There's a big long list of "Women Conductors" up at www.kapralova.org/Conductors

    That's heartening...
