From humble beginnings as a music student in the Bronx to the founding of one of New York City’s iconic performing arts organizations, Eve Queler ventured into the male-dominated world of orchestral conducting in the 1960s when there were few, if any other women in the field.

Along the way she was invited to guest conduct orchestras and opera companies all over the world. This is her story.
