Shira Samuels-Shragg is Plano Symphony Orchestra’s first assistant conductor.
"I felt very lucky to be able to go straight from graduate school into a full-time job with a professional symphony," Samuels-Shragg said."I think what it does in terms of any field where we're still searching for gender equity, is that little girls in the audience can see me come out on the stage and think, 'Oh, maybe I want to do that!"
On Monday, Samuels-Shragg was leading the PSO's first summer camp for students."It's been really rewarding," she said."I hope they're inspired to listen harder, practice more, and come back next summer ready for even more challenging music.""I like to think I'm bringing a sense of warmth and collaboration every time I get on the podium," Samuels-Shragg said."Each individual person gets up there and it affects the sound of the orchestra.
