Looking back on La Maestra... with Stephanie Childress, 2nd Prize in 2020!
Meet Stephanie Childress, La Maestra 2020 2nd Prize!
🙋🏻♀️ Stephanie Childress, now in her early twenties, is making her mark as a conductor of remarkable skill who has been likened to “other notable young conductors of the past such as Sir John Eliot Gardiner and Sir Simon Rattle” (Varsity). Her musicianship and command of a broad scope of repertoire has led to international engagements with symphony orchestras, contemporary chamber groups and opera houses. In the 2021/22 season she continues in her post as Assistant Conductor of the St Louis Symphony Orchestra and Music Director of the St Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra. Following her success as the 2nd prize-winner of the inaugural conducting competition, La Maestra, she has a number of engagements with orchestras in France, including l’Orchestre de Paris, Paris Mozart Orchestra, Orchestre de Chambre de Paris, Opéra et Orchestre National de Montpellier and Mulhouse Symphony Orchestra. Elsewhere she will have debuts with the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra, North Carolina Symphony and Budafok Dohnanyi Orchestra.
⭐️ Created in 2019 by the Paris Mozart Orchestra and Philharmonie de Paris, La Maestra International Competition and Academy for women conductors aim to highlight and give professional opportunities to conductors from all over the world, with no age limit. The second edition of La Maestra Competition took place on 3-6 March 2022.
