On top of the

There still seem
to be numbers of “the first woman to …” things, events and records waiting to
be broken in today’s world while now-progressive moves like gay marriages have

This is one of
those examples whose over-a-century-old tradition of men-dominating role in England
has just been broken by a dedicated female musical talent from America.

world. Is that because most renowned classical music composers have been men?
Enjoy reading and
learning about a tradition in the U.K. and an interview with an American
conductor.
