Episode 14. Bourby Webster: Perth Symphony Orchestra Founder Reflects on Her Journey and radically transforming the world through music

This week, Sam connects with Perth Symphony Orchestra founder, cultural visionary, and innovator Bourby Webster. Bourby discusses her trajectory from Oxford graduate to being part of one of the world’s most well-known classical crossover groups, Bond, to setting up a groundbreaking orchestra on the other side of the world. She shares her commitment to not taking no for an answer and continuing to knock on doors to achieve her goals. Bourby also discussed her vision for culture to come front and centre in economics and policy, the power of music to radically transform the world, and her mission since stepping away from Perth Symphony Orchestra - the organisation she founded - in 2022. Links: Bourby’s LinkedIn page:https://www.linkedin.com/in/bourbywebster/?originalSubdomain=auNorth Street Musichttps://www.northstreetmusic.com/Perth Symphony Orchestrahttps://perthsymphony.com/Connect with Decoding Cultural Leadership on social mediaInstagram, Threads, X/Twitter:@[email protected]@samuelcairnduffRead Sam's Substack here.Presenter and research: Sam CairnduffCreative Director: Niloofar PashmforooshPresented in association with LimelightDecoding Cultural Leadership | Culture.
