]]> On its website, our colleagues at BBC Music Magazine published a ranking of the 30 greatest conductors of all time, selected by their peers.

In response to the question, “Which maestros have inspired you?”, a hundred of today’s top conductors overwhelmingly named Carlos Kleiber.

Only two women appear in this ranking, and — cocorico! — they are both French conductors. Ranked 27th, Nathalie Stutzmann is currently the only female music director leading a major American orchestra (the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra). A renowned baroque conductor heading her ensemble Le Concert d’Astrée, Emmanuelle Haïm (ranked 24th) has revolutionized the musical approach of prestigious modern orchestras as a guest conductor, including the Berliner Philharmoniker. Let’s remember that while female conductors have gained visibility, they remain significantly underrepresented. Only 8% of orchestras worldwide are led by women.

]]> The third edition of the La Maestra International Competition for Women Conductors, held from 14 to 17 March 2024 at the Philharmonie de Paris, has just crowned Bar Avni. The 34-year-old Israeli conductor also walked away with almost all the other special prizes awarded during the competition: Prix des Salles et Orchestres français, Prix Echo (awarded by the European Concert Hall network), Prix Arte (from the Franco-German television channel) and the Prix du Paris Mozart Orchestra. Second place went to Liubov Nosova (30) representing Russia. Finally, 29-year-old German conductor Katharina Morin took third prize and the Prix Génération Opéra awarded by the Centre français de promotion lyrique. The jury for La Maestra 2024 was chaired by Nathalie Stutzmann, Music Director of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and still the only female conductor to lead a major orchestra in the United States.
