Many congratulations to St Hugh’s alumna and Honorary Fellow Dr Jane Glover CBE, who has been recognised by the Royal Philharmonic Society with a prestigious Gamechanger Award.

The award, for “recognising those who break new ground in classical music”, was awarded to Dr Glover “for earnestly carving a path for women conductors, long before it became a movement”.

Since leaving St Hugh’s and her debut in 1975 at the Wexford Festival, she has had an outstanding career as a conductor, leading all major symphony and chamber orchestras in Britain, and conducting many others overseas.
