Film Screening: "The Conductor"

  • Downey Theatre 8435 Firestone Boulevard Downey, CA, 90241 United States (map)

A free screening of “The Conductor,” based on the true story of the Dutch born Antonia Brico. In the late 1920’s she was the world’s first woman who successfully conducted a large symphony orchestra. Until recent, women barely succeeded to reach the world’s top ranking conductors. This year, for the first time in Dutch history, the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra appointed a woman as its Chief Conductor: Karina Canellakis.
