News to start your week!

 

In case you missed it – conductor Mariss Jansons made news by saying that women conductors were “not [his] cup of tea“.   After some significant backlash he later apologized.

 

At the same time, the Dallas Opera’s Linda and Mitch Hart Institute for Women Conductors met again for their two week session.  Dallas News has a story about this year’s participants.
