Biography
Annie Penner Gilstrap
Annie Penner Gilstrap became captivated by the performing arts at an early age through her love of the violin and musical theater and has since been committed to the management, coordination, and promotion of vocal classical repertoire. Now, with five years of multifaceted professional experience in the arts and digital media realms, Annie is a creative and strategic arts administrator specializing in the management, coordination, and promotion of the arts. During her time with The Dallas Opera and The Atlanta Opera, she worked directly with the productions and artists learning to create compelling stories about classical music through digital media, and she fell in love with sharing art in a way that resonates with artists and audiences alike.
As a Digital Stage Administrator at The Dallas Opera, Annie played a pivotal role in conceptualizing, designing, and developing the TDO Network. In her role as Social Media Manager, she successfully rebranded the company's social media accounts, implementing a strategic content calendar that ensured a consistent presence across all channels. Her commitment to excellence led to her position at The Atlanta Opera, supporting the artistic department, administering the Glynn Studio Artists and acting as the artistic liaison to the marketing department. Her passion remains with digital media, however, and she is quite excited to center arts marketing once again in her work for Ravinia.
