Anna Rakitinaâs tenure as Boston Symphony Orchestra assistant conductor hasnât gone as planned, to put it mildly. In the fall of 2019, the Russian conductor became the second woman in BSO history to assume the two-year post, and she spent a month in Boston observing rehearsals, working with the orchestra alongside music director Andris Nelsons, and waiting in the wings during concerts should a last-minute conductor swap become necessary.
