Yannick Nézet-Séquin leads our list of 10 young conductors we think will shape our listening in the years to come, and you can read our full interview with the 36-year old next music director of the Philadelphia Orchestra by editor-in-chief James Jolly. The feature also includes contributions from Claudio Abbado, Daniel Barenboim and Pierre Boulez. After compiling the list we noticed to our surprise that it only contained men, so we invited Mexican conductor Alondra de la Parra to reflect on this state of affairs - you can read her article here.
