“In its ongoing efforts to advance the careers of women in classical music, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra has announced the program and dates for the second Women in Classical Music Symposium,” writes Tim Giovanni in Wednesday’s (5/6) Dallas Morning News. “The symposium, scheduled for Nov. 8-11, will include talks and panel discussions on challenges and successes of female composers, performers and administrators. Prominent figures in the industry will discuss topics including ‘Breaking Barriers—Women in Classical Music,’ ‘Motherhood and Music—Women as Caregivers’ and ‘Music and Wellness.’ A speed-dating-style session with potential mentors will allow attendees to expand their networks as well…. The DSO will present an Award of Excellence to violinist Hilary Hahn, a Career Advancement Award to composer Katherine Balch, and a Lifetime Achievement Award to Deborah Borda, president and CEO of the New York Philharmonic…. Amid coronavirus concerns, the DSO also appears to be preparing for the possibility of an online symposium…. ‘We are working hard to prepare for this much-anticipated fall event and ensure our attendees have a great experience, whether that is in person or virtually,’ Kim Noltemy, president and chief executive of the DSO, said in a news release.”
