I don’t even like classical music but this was made me gain a huge respect for what it means to succeed in the craft.

Perseverance, hard work & never taking no for an answer

I moved to Denver when she was named principal conductor of the Colorado Symphony. I wish I could've been able to afford concerts back then so I could've seen history in the making.

I am waiting patiently for her 09/2022 Japan tour with extraordinary Japanese pianist, Hayato Sumino. I hope live streaming tickets will be available for global audiences. Keeping my fingers crossed 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼.

Love this...inspiring!

I think the accent is on the A of Marin not on the I. The journalist might be wrong

Muy bueno, ojalá pudieran poner subtitulos en español, gracias.

I would love to see and hear Maestra Marin conduct Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.

Height!

Marin Alsop ist tatsächlich eine Ausnahme Dirigentin! Bei ihr stimmt alles. Sie ist gute Musiker, sie hat Talent zu dirigieren und sie hat gute Dirigirtechnik. Vor allem was sie meist mit allen ihren weiblichen Kollegen unterscheidet das Sie beim Dirigieren sich nur mit der Musik beschäftigt, nicht mit sich selbst wie es leider sehr oft der Fall ist.

There used to be a glass ceiling, but nowadays when people blame it, you just know it’s an excuse for incompetence 😏

Why isn't ABC news posting videos of male Lia Thomas beating females in NCAA SWIMMING COMPETITION

I bet $100 bucks she doesn’t likes 99% of the music promoted by this channel!

Get off your pulpit and maybe say something intelligent that relates to the video

Now, what does that have to do with the music? Give me a break!!!

Does everything have a glass ceiling? Men are simply better at highest level at: pick a thing, thinking included.

[@AmandaFromWisconsin]

Does that include starting wars?

[@jeesusmeesuss5247]

@@AmandaFromWisconsin yup, but Hillary tried pretty hard. However, men are so much more socially adept that their superior class probably has prevented thousands of petty wars over the years.

@@jeesusmeesuss5247 WTAF? We’ve been taught so much BS all of our lives, for generations! Except for birthing men can do everything women can do & she often does whatever while holding a child or in high heels dancing backward. It’s the future, the 21 century, some sci-fi writers predicted absolute equality, by now. I am sad that equality is still considered fictional.

[@jeesusmeesuss5247]

@@kathypiazza7228 equality is not real. It does not exist in nature. Inequality is the natural way...... Women are privelidged in the west, in society. Always were. You shouldn't equally share power with what I would call the sacred feminine/privelidge class, as it is her privelidge to not have to fight in wars or do the worst jobs within society. She should not have an equal say. Or she should be on the Frontline and digging ditches with the societal pressure to have to do so...... I'd rather take the natural way and the way of societal choice..... Take away right to vote without SS registration, it's that easy to resolve the issue.
