Designed by architect Frank Gehry, Walt Disney Concert Hall (WDCH) is an internationally recognized architectural landmark and one of the most acoustically sophisticated concert halls in the world. From the

stainless steel curves of its striking exterior to the state-of-the-art acoustics of the hardwood-paneled main auditorium, the 3.6-acre complex embodies the unique energy and creative spirit of the city of Los Angeles and its orchestra. Thanks to the vision and generosity of Lillian Disney, the Disney family, and many other individual and corporate donors, Los Angeles enjoys the music of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Master Chorale and visiting artists and orchestras from around the world.

Constructed in 1909, the storied Santa Monica Pier was the first concrete pier on the West Coast. It quickly gained a reputation among locals as the best fishing spot in Santa Monica. The Looff Hippodrome, now a National Historic Landmark and home to a beautiful carousel, opened in 1916, followed by the iconic carousel in 1939. In 1941, the iconic Santa Monica Yacht Harbor neon sign was unveiled; this is the place for the perfect selfie! Set at Santa Monica’s westernmost point, the Santa Monica Pier is a staple of this picturesque seaside community. Packed with family-friendly activities, restaurants and shops, it also has stunning views and over a century’s worth of history.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Ginny Mancini enjoyed a flourishing singing career, performing with Mel Torme, the Mel-Tones and the Tex Beneke Orchestra before marrying composer/conductor Henry Mancini. She was a Founding Member of the Henry Mancini Institute and is a past president. Mancini currently serves as Vice President of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association, and is a director of The Leo Buscaglia Foundation. She is a founding member of the USC Thornton School of Music’s Board of Advisors, a Board Member of the ASCAP Foundation, and Secretary of the Geffen Playhouse. She was previously a member of the Royce Center Circle UCLA Performing Arts, and a past chairman, president and co-founder of the Society of Singers.

Anna Reid, Dean Jacqui Smith, Strategic Relations Manager

An alumna of the Sydney Conservatorium, Professor Anna Reid joined the Con in 2010 as Head of School and Associate Dean (teaching and learning). Her practical and research interests in social equity and professional preparation have led to the creation of internship programs, ‘buddy’ relationships with regional conservatoria, freeing up the music curriculum to deliver greater student choice, enhancing student engagement with musical studies, and fostering equity programs for the University’s music faculty. Her academic approach is underpinned by a strong research base in higher education theory and practice, which informs her interactions with academic staff and allows her to develop reflective and flexible teaching practices; construct curriculum and units that enable students to prepare well for a changing world; build a scholarly approach to the evaluation of teaching; enhance her and her colleagues’ research capacity; develop

quality research programs in various academic departments; and identify, implement and evaluate strategic policy for higher degree research. Professor Reid has a large group of research students whose interests lie in music pedagogy, social impact of music, creativity in theory and practice, and performance as research who she continues to teach. Her own active career as a researcher in higher education theory and practice, and associated work as an academic developer began at UTS (1996-1999) and Macquarie University (2000-2009) where she gained expertise in tertiary policy and practice. A tertiary educator her entire career, her first role was director of music for Wesley Institute (1988-1994), when she composed “With Heads Held High” for the opening of Parliament House in Canberra. Her interest in higher education leadership developed during that time, and she gained a Master of Educational Administration from the University of New England. For her PhD on music in higher education, she explored variations in the ways that instrumental and vocal students and teachers learn and teach. Professor Reid is also a cellist and viola da gamba player.

Jacqui Smith is a lover of many musical things, but particularly but particularly loves music from the 12th to the late 18th century, as well as music written yesterday. She has played music ever since hearing the internationally regarded Australian group ‘the Renaissance Players’ at her primary school. Jacqui went on to play recorders and whistles with this ensemble at the University of Sydney. Jacqui has worked in the arts and higher education sectors for the last 20 years, after graduating with a Bachelor of Music in performance, and postgraduate degrees in Publishing and Law. Jacqui has worked in marketing, communications and operations roles for the Australian Youth Orchestra, Gondwana Choirs, classikON, Australia Piano Quartet, Moorambilla Voices, University of Technology, Sydney, Murdoch Books and the University of Sydney’s Law School and Power Institute. Jacqui is also a Peer of the Australia Council for the Arts.

Jacqui has worked at the University of Sydney’s Conservatorium of Music since 2014 as Marketing Communications Specialist and more recently as Strategic Relations Manager. Her current role oversees our international engagement program, including developing relationships with university partners for student exchange, research and collaborative projects. She also works with arts partners in Sydney and regional New South Wales for the Conservatorium’s arts internship program and manages their school engagement strategy. Jacqui has represented the University of Sydney at two international events – the Conservatorium’s 2015 Estivo European Chamber Music Summer School in Italy and the 2016 Chicago Midwest Clinic.
