I learned from the most recent Stanford Magazine that Karla Lemon, my conductor at Stanford, passed away a few months ago due to complications from a surgery. I know that some people had their differences with her, but I always liked her, and she actually made made me co-concertmaster as a freshman, including on our tour to Italy. I also realized that Karla was the last conductor I ever played under, which is personally significant, given how much I love playing in symphonies, and how much music used to dominate my life. With how few women conductors there are in the world, her loss is that much more significant. My thoughts go out to her friends and family.
