The Sydney Symphony Orchestra will celebrate the life of the popular late music educator Richard Gill in\u00a0Richard Gill: Celebration of a Life.<\/em><\/p>\n

In collaboration with Kim Williams, Australian media executive, former student, and lifelong friend of Richard Gill,\u00a0Richard Gill: Celebration of a Life\u00a0<\/em>will include speeches by Richard\u2019s children, Claire and Anthony Gill; Sir Jonathan Mills AO, composer and former Director of the Edinburgh International Festival; Australian director and actor John Bell AO OBE; recently appointed Australia Council CEO Adrian Collette AM; and former Sydney Symphony Managing Director CEO, Mary Vallentine AO. The Sydney Symphony Orchestra will also be joined by the Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, Sydney Chamber Choir and the Conservatorium High School Chamber Choir for the tribute performance.<\/p>\n

Emma Dunch, Sydney Symphony Orchestra CEO, shares why the orchestra has brought together this special concert. \u201cRichard Gill changed the way we listened to music,\u201d says Dunch.<\/p>\n

The already at capacity event will also be available as a free livestream direct from the Sydney Opera House via the\u00a0Sydney Symphony Orchestra\u00a0and\u00a0ABC Classic FM\u00a0websites with the support of Optus.\u00a0The concert audio will also be broadcast on ABC Classic FM.<\/p>\n

With a career spanning 60 years, Richard\u2019s achievements and talents were innumerable, ranging from conductor, musician, mentor and most notably, a fierce champion for the role that music plays in the education and development of young people.<\/p>\n

His work with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra saw the development of innovative programs that addressed gaps in music education. Through his role as the Artistic Director of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra\u2019s education program, Gill established the Sydney Symphony Sinfonia, a training orchestra that provided young musicians with a bridge between education and professional practice. Believing that music education didn\u2019t stop with young minds and should be for everyone, he pioneered the orchestra\u2019s Discovery <\/em>series, concert programs that provided musical knowledge in interesting and accessible ways for an adult audience.<\/p>\n
