>There are no female music directors among orchestras with a top-25
budget. Five of the spots from No. 26 to No. 75 do belong to
women, but in three cases it's the same woman -- ex-Women's
Philharmonic music director JoAnn Falletta, who leads the
orchestras of Buffalo, N.Y.; Norfolk, Va.; and Long Beach.

I don't know how the budget compares, but our local band in Denver, the
Colorado Symphony, has the EXCELLENT Marin Alsop as director. When I came=

to Denver just over three years ago, from the UK Midlands, my reaction on=

seeing and hearing her for the first time was: "this is like hearing the
City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra soon after Simon Rattle took over"
... a once jaded band going up very fast. Her programming is also
adventurous, with much modern American music included. She also conducts
the Cabrillo Festival in Monterey CA.

I hear from a trusted music critic friend who covers the Cabrillo that Ka=
te
Tamarkin is also terrific, but have not heard her.
