The West Australian Symphony Orchestra (WASO) has appointed Jenna Smith as Principal Trumpet, the first female musician to hold the position in the organisation’s almost 100-year history.
Principal Conductor Asher Fisch says of Smith’s appointment: “For the past six years, Jenna has been an outstanding and vital part of our brass section, always playing with great artistry and skill. I am delighted that Jenna has been appointed Principal Trumpet and look forward to her continuing to captivate our audiences with her exceptional musicianship.”
