Marin Alsop, music director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, is incorrectly credited as the first woman to lead a major American Orchestra. It's unfortunate that Ms. Falletta has not been acknowledged as the true pioneer. She is a major asset for Buffalo and I'm glad that she's receiving this award.
I haven't read much about the physical condition of Kleinhan's Music Hall, but I hope that it is receiving the repair and maintenance required to keep this architectural gem in good condition for the next generation.
