Ruth Cowan reports Ebba Lundstrum, conductor of Chicago's women’s symphony, says it takes time to train women to work together in an all female orchestra. The group, formed six years ago in Lindsborg Kansas, marks its 20th anniversary with a soloist from Ralph Lawton and an appearance at a festival in Sulzurs Austria.
