Authorship

I am a board member of the DPO, however the information has been fact checked and supported by news articles from the past 20 years, as well as archival information from the 1930s.

Brico, who was the first woman to conduct the New York Philharmonic Orchestra (1938)[2], debuted the orchestra to a full auditorium explaining the need to showcase the talents of local, classically trained musicians “with no place to play.”[3] The premiere performance also received a telegram from composer Jean Sibelius wishing good luck.[4]"
