I agree with the statement because she had numerous famous musicians

thought at Paris, United States and United Kingdom and working with
important conservatoires like Juilliard School, the Yehudi Menuhin
School, the Royal College os Music and the Royal Academy os Music.

She is described as the most important woman in the history of classical

music and she became the first woman to conduct many of the major
United States and European symphony orchestras, including the BBC
Symphony, Boston Symphony, Hallé Orchestra and New York
Philarmonic. She also was a mentor of Stravinsky and she had amazing
impact in jazz, tango, funk and hip hop, and also in classical music.

5. Founded in 1999, the origins of the orchestra lie in the conversations

between its founders, Edward Said and Daniel Barenboim. In their
exchanges, they realized the urgent need for an alternative way to address
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This evolved into the West-Eastern Divan
Orchestra that global audiences know today. They demonstrate that
bridges can be built to encourage people to listen to the narrative of the
other. The West-Eastern Divan Ensemble is the most recent imprint of this
project and brings the highly praised artistry of the large orchestra into an
intimate chamber music format.
