Dame Jane Glover will be joining The Yard's host Rebecca Fletcher to explore her hugely successful career as a conductor and her latest book, Mozart in Italy - Coming of Age in the Land of Opera, in which Jane chronicles Mozart's formative trips to Italy and the profound effect they had on his astounding musical career.  Evocative and beautifully written, Mozart in Italy is a compelling account not only of Mozart's early career but it brings the world of early 18th century classical music vividly to life.

In Jane Glover’s long and hugely successful career as a conductor, she has been Music Director of the Glyndebourne Touring Opera, Artistic Director of The London Mozart Players, and, since 2002, is Music Director of Chicago’s Music of the Baroque. She has conducted concerts and operas in Britain, the United States of America and across the world, and is especially known for her interpretations of Mozart. She is a regular broadcaster, with highlights including a television series on Mozart. She is also the acclaimed author of Mozart’s Women and Handel in London. Jane was made Dame Commander of the British Empire in the 2021 New Year's Honours.
