Talia Ilan is a conductor whose career has taken her to orchestras in Israel, Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. Since June 2025, she has been based in Vienna.

​

Talia has appeared with numerous orchestras worldwide, including the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, the Haifa Symphony Orchestra, the Guiyang Symphony Orchestra, the Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra to name a few.

Over the course of her career, Ilan has held several long-term music directorships, most notably with the Israel Stage Orchestra and the Campus Symphony Orchestra.

​

Teaching is an integral part of Ilan's artistic identity, fostering an ongoing dialogue between performance and pedagogy. This commitment has led her to teach orchestral conducting to music and conducting students for more than two decades.

​

Ilan has created original concert concepts integrating music with the performing arts, offering audiences new ways of experiencing classical music.

​

Her commitment to broadening musical perspectives also found expression in her work as a music editor for Israel's public classical music radio station, an experience that further broadened her musical perspective as a conductor.

​

The same commitment to expanding musical horizons led Ilan to create the internationally recognized initiative #oneconductoraday, dedicated to increasing the visibility of women conductors worldwide. The project has become one of the largest ongoing initiatives of its kind.

​

A graduate of the Jerusalem Rubin Academy of Music and Dance, she studied orchestral conducting with Prof. Mendi Rodan and worked closely with Maestro Daniel Barenboim and Maestro Michael Tilson Thomas.

​

Her work continues to connect performance, education, and musical exploration.
