PARTNER ORCHESTRAS
During 2023 a partnership was created with several orchestras that will be part of a network of partner orchestras in the HUB for Women Conductors so that women conductors can be part of the programming of partner orchestras.
This is an important commitment on the part of the orchestras that will hopefully impact opportunities for women conductors, orchestras and audiences alike.
