Chicago Symphony Orchestra / Ravinia Festival / Breaking Barrieres

“Polish conductor Anna Duczmal-Mróz, a 2022-24 Taki fellow, seemed completely at ease leading Montgomery’s work, effectively communicating with facial expressions and an animated left hand to go along with the main beat provided by the right. With expansive gestures, she urged the orchestra forward when the music gained momentum and drive. In short, she acquitted herself well in what was clearly a major opportunity to show off her skills.”
