Welcome back to Declassify Season 2! I am so pleased to welcome you all back to this new season, and most importantly, to begin this following season with a host of international guests and conversations. I am so pleased, not only to have returned, but to welcome Declassify’s very first guest for season 2 and it is none other than the incredible Jessica Cottis. Jessica Cottis is one of the most prolific Australian conductors working today having been named in 2018 as the Classical Face to Watch by the Times in the UK. In this premiere episode of Season 2, host Victoria Pham and Jessica Cottis discuss the power of silence, conducting into the future and collaborative music making to forge new pathways for future classical music.
