Composers, Musicians and Conductors Day

It's time for another of those coincidences again. This time I noticed a number of prominent conductors, musicians and composers were born Today in History! Karl Millöcker (1842), Sir Thomas Beecham (1879), Sir Malcolm Sargent (1895), Duke Ellington (1899), Harold Shapero (1920), Peter Sculthorpe (1929), Rod McKuen (1933), Zubin Mehta (1936) and a few more 'lesser' lights!

Here are your Wednesday questions: -
  1. Who arrived at Orléans today in 1429 and led the French to victory over the English?

  2. Actress Kate Mulgrew (right), who was born today in 1955, played which character in the TV series "Star Trek: Voyager"?

  3. Which controversial rock musical opened on Broadway at the Biltmore Theater today in 1968?
Yesterday's Answers: 1. Yellow Fever; 2. Sue Storm/Invisible Woman; 3. Andy Flower
