“ ‘The Future is Female—Inspiring Women in Top Leadership Positions,’ the Dallas Symphony Orchestra’s third Women in Classical Music Symposium, has been announced for November 7-10,” writes Sarah Shay in Wednesday’s (6/9) Musical America (subscription required). “This event is part of the DSO’s extensive Women in Classical Music initiative. Administrators, educators, musicians, and conductors will gather in conversation, panels, and discussions focused on inspiring women in top leadership positions. Even though more women than men graduate from prominent conservatories and schools of music, they are underrepresented in titled conducting positions, as soloists, and in programming…. Among key panel topics are … The Road to Equity: Goals and Strategies for Equal Representation; Inspiring the Next Generation of Female Leaders; The Many Careers in Music; Sexual Harassment On and Off the Stage; and Remaining Relevant in a Digital Space…. Among those on panels are: Arna Einarsdottir, managing director, Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra; Michelle Miller Burns, president and CEO, Minnesota Orchestra; Angélica Negrón, composer-in-residence, Dallas Symphony; Kim Noltemy, president and CEO, Dallas Symphony; Melia Tourangeau, president and CEO, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra; Mark Volpe, outgoing president and CEO, Boston Symphony Orchestra; and Simon Woods, president and CEO, League of American Orchestras.”
