Congratulations to Perth Symphony Chief Conductor & Artistic Director – Jessica Gethin.

Jessica was recently announced as an Inaugural Fellow into the prestigious Institute of Women Conductors with the Dallas Opera. She was selected as one of only six conductors chosen internationally from 27 countries to travel to Dallas this November to participate in the elite opera program for distinguished professional conductors. 

The IWC will consist of master classes and one-on-ones with Dallas Opera Music Director Emmanuel Villaume and Principal Guest Conductor Nicole Paiement; seminars, discussions, and networking opportunities; as well as the chance to conduct The Dallas Opera Orchestra in a public concert performance the evening of December 5, 2015 onstage in the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House at the AT&T Performing Arts Center in Dallas, Texas.

Well done Jessica – we know what an incredible talent you are, and are more than happy to share you with the Texans! Enjoy being totally immersed in such a creative environment, we can’t wait to work with you when you return in December, full of inspiration and knowledge.

At Perth Symphony, we are working our hardest to grow the music and culture scene in WA, so that talented musicians and artists like Jessica have world class opportunities here in Perth.
