1973: The First Female Conductors
The first women to conduct the orchestra at the contest were Monica Dominique from Sweden and Nurit Hirsch from Israel at the Concours Eurovision de la Chanson in 1973. Both women were also involved in writing the songs.

In 1973 Israel became the first country from outside Europe’s geographical borders to take part in the ESC. A few months earlier, members of a Palestinian terrorist organisation had murdered eleven Israelis at the Olympic Games in Munich. This prompted the organisers in Luxembourg to increase security measures at the event in order to protect artists and visitors from attacks.
