I know of a female conductor for the Almere Brassband (Holland). This is 
Prisca Aardenburg (also conductor of our fanfare-orchestra).
She is btw momentarily on maternity leave (expecting twins anyday now) and 
as a replacement conductor there is again a female conductor: Ineke Wentink 
(who is also the conductor of the student-fanfare-orchestra in our band).

So there you have it: fanfare-orchestras leading the way in the emancipatory 
movement.
