Rimma Sushanskaya
Conductor
She was born in St. Petersburg and in the beginning of her career Rimma was known as a talented violin player to a wider audience.
The difficulty in conducting is the simultaneous coordination of so many different processes. (…) As a conductor you have to be able to read seven to fifteen different lines, with different keys at the same time, which is very difficult. But if you’re a good musician and you will acquire these techniques, you will be rewarded for it at the end.
