Laura Prichard, PhD

Female Orchestral Conductors: A New Vanguard

Join SF Symphony & SF Opera speaker Dr. Laura Stanfield Prichard for an examination of the best contemporary female orchestral conductors. We will listen and observe notable mentor-teachers (Nadia Boulanger, Sain Edwards, Marin Alsop, Ann Howard Jones, Marguerite Brooks); explore female composer/conductors (Lisa Bielawa, Jennifer Higdon, Laura Kaminsky, and early suffragettes like Ethel Smyth) and films contrasting real & imagined female conductors (Maestra; A Woman is a Risky Bet; The Conductor; Tár; Divertimento), and discover new leaders in the field.
