I learned composer William Grant Still conducted the Los Angeles Philharmonic July 23, 1936 many years ago. However, I only learned on Dec 5, 2021 from a Facebook post by Joshua Cheek that Margaret Rosezarian Harris was the 1st female African American to conduct the Los Angeles Philharmonic. However, I am not surprised that the historical event occurred during the tenure of Maestro Zubin Mehta.
