Notes from the Director

WOMEN IN MUSICAL LEADERSHIP

Vancouver Opera is proud to be a participating organization in the Women in Musical Leadership National Conducting Residency. Conductor Jennifer Tung joins the creative team of Orfeo ed Euridice as part of this innovative multi-year professional opportunity to advance female-identifying and non-binary music directors and conductors and richly expand the talent pool of musical leadership in Canada. This program is led by Tapestry Opera, in partnership with Pacific Opera Victoria, lead orchestral partner Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and in collaboration with leading opera and music organizations across Canada.

“I am so humbled and excited to be awarded this fellowship so I can focus on learning from the fantastic mentors, as well as getting experiences on the podium that will help me hone this incredibly complex craft,” says Conductor Jennifer Tung. “I look forward to collaborating with many phenomenal musicians, to learn from them and to share my passion with them.”
