Resources from A Spotlight on Women in Musical Leadership

On Wednesday, October 27, 2021, Orchestras Canada and the Association for Opera in Canada partnered to present a spotlight on the Women in Musical Leadership (WML) program, a multi-year training fellowship for female and non-binary conductors.

Helmed by Tapestry Opera and lead partners Toronto Symphony Orchestra and Pacific Opera Victoria, WML addresses the historic gender inequity at the classical podium by providing intensive training, mentorship, and opportunities to gifted conductors. Working in tandem with a growing network of partner organizations across Canada, WML facilitates placements where participants observe and engage in the activities of partner seasons.
