Jessica Cottis has joined the roster of IMG Artists for General Management.

She will be represented by Thomas Walton and Alison Heather from the company’s London office.

Cottis will begin her second season as Artistic Partner of the Västerås Sinfonietta in Sweden and continues her fourth season as Chief Conductor and Artistic Director of the Canberra Symphony Orchestra during the 2024-25 season. Under her leadership, the CSO has pioneered several important and award-winning initiatives, including a significant commissioning output, collaborations with Indigenous creators, and championing Australian composers.

This season she is also set to debut with the Turku Philharmonic Orchestra and will conduct the National Arts Centre Orchestra (Ottawa), Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Gävle Symphony Orchestra, Uppsala Chamber Orchestra, and Philharmonie Luxembourg.

In a statement, Walton and Heather said, “We are delighted to welcome Jessica back to her longtime home of IMG Artists. She is a deeply committed musician of huge intelligence and integrity, colourful imagination, and a notably winning way with orchestras and opera houses alike. It’s a great privilege and joy to continue working together on her burgeoning career right across the globe.”
