Brooklyn Museum’s Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art Presents Panel Discussion on Pioneering Female Classical Musicians <\/b><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Panelists Include Orin O’Brien, the First Woman Appointed to a Position in a U.S. Orchestra  <\/i><\/div>\n

A panel discussion titled “Groundbreakers and Music Makers: The First Generation of Orchestral Women” will take place on Sunday, June 13, from 2 to 4 p.m<\/b>., at the Brooklyn Museum. Presented by the Museum’s Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, the event will be held in the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Auditorium and is free with Museum admission. <\/p>\n

The panelists include musicians Jacqui Danilow, Laura Flax, and Orin O’Brien, the first woman appointed to a position in a U.S. orchestra (by New York Philharmonic Music Director Leonard Bernstein), telling how they have risen to the top of their field in the competitive, male-dominated arena of classical music. Each participant will describe her journey as a musician, her challenges, her accomplishments, her plans for the future, and how she sees the path of upcoming professional female musicians as different from her own and from the women who preceded her. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
