Two of the orchestra’s former chief conductors, Herbert Blomstedt and Esa-Pekka Salonen, have since been named Conductors Laureate, and continue to perform regularly with the orchestra.

Her nonet, a chamber music piece written for nine musicians became so popular after its premier in 1849, that it spurred Farrence to make the conservatory to give her the same salary as her male colleagues.
