Women conductors are on the rise, and we're all about keeping that momentum going. WoCo, in partnership with @RoyalPhilSoc and us, supports women in their conducting journey. Last week, WoCo invited folks to a session with @RNSinfonia at the @aborchestras conference.🪄

Always a joy to see @VikingurMusic performing live. He has this way of making old favourites sound like they were written this morning: never more so than with his take on Beethoven’s ‘Emperor’, with the brilliant @RNSinfonia and @dinispsousa here @glasshouseicm for #ABO2025.
