Today we celebrate International Women’s Day: a day where women across the globe unite and take a step forward, together.

Women on the Podium is an initiative created by Perth Symphony which paves the way for female conductors and leaders in music. From orchestral conducting to goal setting to media training, the program is designed to give participants the encouragement and confidence to take on this male dominated industry.

Dedicated to seeing more women on the podium, we’re so proud and inspired by those who have participated in this program so far. Take a look as we stand for WOMEN EQUALITY. #EachforEqual #IWD2020 #InternationalWomensDay
