Redefining leadership in classical music:a three-year conducting program designed to cultivate the next generation of women and non-binary conductors
Women in Musical Leadership (WML) is a three-year program designed to collectively develop the next generation of women and non-binary conductors and music directors in Canada.
Led by Tapestry Opera with lead orchestral partner Toronto Symphony Orchestra and lead partner Pacific Opera Victoria, the program addresses a historic gender inequity on the podium by providing women and non-binary conductors active mentorship with leading conductors in the field, deep and varied experience with professional companies, and a robust artistic network.
Women in Musical Leadership builds pathways to success for exceptional women and non-binary music leaders for generations.
This program is a philanthropic endeavour. Your support can help drive national change in the music sector.
WML provides conductors with the opportunity to assist, observe, conduct, and build experience within a range of organizations in symphonic, chamber, operatic, and contemporary repertoire. This gives conductors the professional experience and training that will enable them to take the podium anywhere in the world.
