Julia Weldon is a cellist in the Eugene Symphony in Oregon beginning summer 2025. 

She was a member of the 2024 National Repertory Orchestra in Breckenridge, Colorado and a member with the Toho Orchestra Academy in 2023. She held principal positions in Sinfonia de l’Oest, McGill Symphony Orchestra, and the Oberlin Chamber Orchestra.

With Trio Eudaemonia, she attended the International Music Workshop and Festival in Kirchberg an der Jagst, Germany. Julia performed regularly with friends of Dublin House in Montreal as a freelance chamber musician. 

As co-host, she organized a symposium for McGill graduate students on creative collaborative processes between performers, composer, and audience. It featured guest speakers, workshops, and student demonstrations along with a premiere collaborative piece.

Her passion is crafting spaces for students seeking to find their inner confidence, curiosity, and establish their creative voice through music. It is one of her lifelong goals to help curate care and empathy inside and outside of musical settings.
