Women conductors are still in the minority. On America 250: The American Experience, we hear women taking the lead — from trailblazer Antonia Brico, the first woman to conduct the New York Philharmonic in 1938, to contemporary icon Marin Alsop.
We’ll also hear Mei-Ann Chen, a champion of new and diverse voices… and the late Jeanne Lamon, who helped bring early music to modern audiences.
The Friday night encore of The American Experience, tonight from 8 to 10 on 91.1, 107.5, and our music stream.
