The award celebrates Heather&#8217;s contribution to Canadian orchestras through her career-long commitment and outstanding impact on music education and expanding opportunities for young musicians. There will be an official award presentation to Heather the evening of September 27 at a Calgary Philharmonic concert.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The Betty Webster Award was established in 2002 to honour Mrs. Elizabath Webster, C.M. (1925-2018), Orchestras Canada\u2019s founding Executive Director. Past winners include distinguished musicians, volunteers, educators, ensembles, and arts managers: a tribute to Mrs. Webster\u2019s inclusive vision for Canadian orchestras. In 2024, the jury focused on the calibre and impact of the nominees\u2019 contributions to music education of one or more Canadian orchestras.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Heather has been a member of the horn section of the Calgary Philharmonic since 1993. In 2015, she was instrumental in launching PhilKids, a free after-school visionary music education program to fuel and support the empowerment of children from underserved neighbourhoods through the exploration of music. PhilKids offers elementary students, ages six to 11, the opportunity to learn directly from Orchestra musicians. Since its launch, the program has seen hundreds of successful students and graduates.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Since 2001, Heather has been regularly invited to the \u201cSummer Music on the Shannon\u201d music festival in Limerick, Ireland, as a guest soloist and horn instructor. On top of her Calgary Philharmonic engagement, Heather is a founding member of the chamber ensembles, Rosa Selvatica, and Altius Brass and she is increasingly busy as a teacher and clinician. In 2010, Heather and her colleagues Laurie Matiation, Jennifer Frank-Umana and Douglas Umana, launched HornFest, a yearly weekend workshop for Horn players from Junior High students to adult amateurs to support their growth and development and joy in playing. It has been running successfully and supporting horn players ever since.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">In response to receiving the award, Heather Wootton said:\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201c<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Thank you so much for this incredible honour. Working with the many students and educators involved with PhilKids has been a privilege since its inception in 2015 and launched in 2016. This award belongs to the PhilKids team, who constantly inspire and amaze me with their passion and commitment. This award is a testament to them. To address the current lack of diversity in classical music, we must start at the roots, at the very beginning and provide opportunities for children from diverse backgrounds and circumstances to succeed and ensure accessible opportunities and pathways to advance in music and the arts. Regardless of where their path in life takes them, the skills they develop while studying music and the mastery of an instrument will last their entire lives.<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The award includes a plaque and a donation to an orchestra or a group of the winner\u2019s choosing.
