The Walla Walla Symphony has a long history that dates back to 1907. As it embarks on its next season, it will have an exciting new talent on the podium, succeeding the late Yaacov Bergman as Music Director.

Dina Gilbert appeared as Guest Conductor with the orchestra back in February. She currently serves as Music Director of the Kamloops Symphony, as well as Assistant Conductor of the Montreal Symphony in her native Québec. She sees Walla Walla as an “orchestra of the future,” and as a place where she can help develop new and younger audiences.

Dina Gilbert will conduct the opening concert in October.

Information about the Walla Walla Symphony’s upcoming 118th season will be available at wwsymphony.org
