Three conductors, 2022
This Week in Classical Music: June 27, 2022. Three Conductors.

Instead, we’ll write about another three conductors whose birthdays are also celebrated this week: Claudio Abbado, born June 26th of 1933 in Milan; the Czech conductor Rafael Kubelík, who born on June 29th, 1914, one day after Archduke Ferdinand's assassination, as a result of which his country, Bohemia, then part of Austria-Hungary, became Czechoslovakia; and Carlos Kleiber, born July 3rd of 1930.

Last year that figure was just 5% - the highest percentage recorded to date [see my article on the Donne Foundation's recent report], while some of the world’s most renowned orchestras only started admitting female musicians as recently as 2003.In response to this and to the perceived rigidity of the classical concert format, classically trained violinist and arranger Ellie Consta formed Her Ensemble, the UK’s first women and non-binary orchestra. The group has been performing together since November 2020 (including releasing a debut single, recorded a feature film score for Melt The Fly, and collaborated with Pixie Lott) and now the group makes its concert debut at Battersea Town Hall on 17 September 2021. The ensemble is formed of like-minded colleagues stemming from the European Union Youth Orchestra, and brings together some of […]
