My Take

Elim Chan is exactly the kind of artist I love to follow. A Hong Kong-born conductor who studied at the University of Michigan and rose to become music director-designate of the San Francisco Symphony, she's broken into a field that has been stubbornly slow to make room for women, let alone women from Asia. Conducting is leadership made audible, and earning the trust of a major American orchestra takes both fierce talent and steel. I admire that she's reshaping who gets to stand on the podium. Her trajectory feels like a genuine signal of where classical music is finally heading.

Overview
