Hailed by critics as “charismatic, crisp, precise, and elegant,” Janna Sailor is an emerging conductor and innovator on the Canadian music scene. As founder and Artistic Director of the Vancouver-based Allegra Chamber Orchestra, she leads one of the only all-female classical orchestras in the world; an ensemble dedicated to creating opportunities for women and minorities in the classical music industry, with a mandate of social action through music. The Orchestra and its unique output and mandate has been featured on CBC Radio, Radio ICI, The Walrus and The Strad magazines, The Violin Channel, The Hub, and public radio stations across Germany and France, amongst other international media. Over its two-year history, the Orchestra has commissioned and premiered numerous works by Canadian female and minority composers, and cofounded a music therapy program for women living on the street on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. In addition to guest conducting the major orchestras in Canada, Sailor pursues a diverse career as a violinist, delving into contemporary, world and early music, jazz and improvisation, chamber music, and interdisciplinary projects with dancers, visual artists, and electronics.
