New Brunswick-born conductor Juliane Gallant is quickly making a name for herself as a dynamic conductor in a wide variety of programming. Recent career highlights include her podium debuts with Ottawa's National Arts Centre Orchestra, the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, and the Boston Symphony Orchestra's Boston Pops. The 26/27 season sees further debuts with the symphonies of Saskatoon, Kamloops, Winnipeg, and Nova Scotia, alongside returns to Victoria Symphony and the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra.

In past seasons, Juliane has taken the podium for the Newfoundland Symphony, PEI Symphony Orchestra, Symphony New Brunswick, Regina Symphony Orchestra, Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, and Kingston Symphony Orchestra. With a particular passion for pops programming, she has collaborated with a variety of artists such as The Tenors, Chantal Kreviazuk, Kiesza, Serena Ryder, and Brett Kissel, among others. For three seasons, Juliane was the Resident Conductor of the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, where she was also the 2025/2026 Artistic Advisor (Pops), leading Vivaldi’s Ring of Mystery, The Princess Bride, Unplugged: Nirvana Reimagined, and programs in collaboration with Vivek Shraya, Tenille Townes, and Steven Page, among others.

A dedicated collaborator, Juliane's first career chapters were as a collaborative pianist, répétiteur, and vocal coach. She made her conducting débuts in opera in the United Kingdom, leading productions with Gothic Opera (Le loup-garou/Le dernier sorcier), Hampstead Garden Opera (La bohème), King’s Head Theatre (Carmen, Tosca), Opera on Location (L’enfant prodigue, Cinderella, La traviata, Don Giovanni, Carmen), St Paul’s Opera (Così fan tutte, Orphée aux enfers) and Opera Upclose (Carmen, Music oft hath such a charm, Ulla’sOdyssey). In 2021, she made her Royal Opera House conducting début with MAMI WATA, in collaboration with Pegasus Opera and the Engender Festival.

In Canada, she was the music director for Highland Opera Studio’s presentation of Eugene Onegin, and conducted a performance of the world premiere of Nicole Lizée’s R.U.R. A Torrent of Light with Tapestry Opera (Toronto). She made her American conducting début with Offenbach’s La vie parisienne at Opera Saratoga.

Juliane was one of two fellows in the inaugural cohort of Tapestry Opera's Women in Musical Leadership program. Through this groundbreaking opportunity, she received mentorship from conductors such as Gustavo Gimeno and JoAnn Falletta, as well as podium time and assistant credits throughout Canada. In London, she was one of twelve participants in the first Women Conductors Course: Conducting for Opera, run by the Royal Opera House, the National Opera Studio, and the Royal Philharmonic Society. She has received continued support from the Royal Opera House throughout her training. Juliane has also participated in conducting masterclasses with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Winnipeg Symphony.

Juliane is a graduate of the National Opera Studio, the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, the Conservatoire de musique et d'art dramatique de Montréal, the University of Ottawa, and the Université de Moncton. She is grateful to have received funding from the Opera Awards Foundation, Canada Council for the Arts, Alberta Foundation for the Arts, and Arts NB.
