And while I mentioned them in my post script, let’s put them up in lights here: Lyn Williams, Nicolette Fraillon, Simone Young are leaders, role models and incredible musicians. (And also women, but that’s by the by.)
Keep those names coming.

Really interesting. Reminds me of one musician’s answer when I was interviewing people about how to succeed in the music business. His advice: “Be good.”
Personally, I’m OK with the young balding American conductor as long as he’s good.

And then there’s this interview with Anne-Sophie Mutter where she extends that to “be a good person“.
