  Iona Brown - Telegraph
Iona Brown was one of the few women in the 20th century successfully to transfer from bow to baton, insisting at the time that engendering fear among the rank and file of the orchestra would not be the key to her success.
Elizabeth Iona Brown was born at Salisbury on January 7 1941, her name inspired by the peace and tranquillity of the eponymous Scottish island.
Iona Brown was educated at the Cathedral School in Salisbury and Cranborne Chase, played with the National Youth Orchestra for five years from 1955 ("Fiddle No 22; I remember it like yesterday"), and studied with Hugh Maguire in London, Remy Principe in Rome, and Henryk Szeryng in Paris.

 Guardian Unlimited | Obituaries | Iona Brown
Iona went to Cranborne Chase school, Dorset, and studied the violin privately with Hugh Maguire in London.
In 1981, Brown was made artistic director of the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, and, in 1987, took on the same role with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra.
For someone who abominated airplanes, she travelled the world of music with remarkable intestinal fortitude; for a lady who loved wine she maintained both her dignity and her figure; and as a companion there was a distinct lack of inactivity.

 artnet.com Magazine Features - Brown is Beautiful
We've only met her once, at a dinner last fall at Le Zinc in Tribeca that was organized by Brown's collectors and her dealer Caren Golden, preparatory to Iona's dazzling retrospective, which opens this month at the Art Museum of Spelman College in Atlanta.
We learned that Iona grew up an only child; that her parents, distinguished teachers in the District of Columbia, had both passed on; that she lived with her German shepherd alone in the wilds of Maryland.
Material rewards are trickling down: Iona had the best piece in "Black Belt" at the Studio Museum in Harlem, dealer Michael Steinberg is overseeing her first print editions, everything Brown makes finds a buyer, and the Spelman show will reveal her to be a powerful light to her generation.

Brown based her best-selling images on a 1990s fad that saw young Japanese women--known as ganguro --darkening their skin and putting on some of the trappings of fl rappers.
