Q is for Eve Queler

My Theme

Eve Rabin Queler
(1936 - )

Jumping away from my mostly military themed topics for a moment!

Maestro Eve Queler is one of the few female musical conductors in the world. She has conducted many orchestras, operas and symphonies.

In 2010, she received the National Endowment for the Arts Lifetime Achievement in Opera award to recognize her accomplished career and distinguished work. 

Maestro Queler organized the Opera Orchestra of New York in 1967 to give herself experience and to offer opportunists to singers and orchestra / symphony players who never would have gotten a chance at the larger companies.

    1. I like that she was open to giving opportunities to perform to people who would be overlooked by the Big Names out there. That's awesome of her.
