Jessica Gethin - Conductor

Since August last year, I’ve had the privilege of working on this incredibly special project with Harry Connick Jnr. It has been 10 months of hard work, love, care and commitment to bring it to life. To see it come to fruition this past weekend at Carnegie Hall with Harry and the wonderful Orchestra Victoria, alongside the media coverage surrounding the project is something I’m immensely proud of.

Grateful to everyone who helped tell the story and support this journey along the way. Thanks to The Australian, STM Magazine, The Sunday Times, The West Australian and ABC Classic for their interviews. Enjoy reading the story behind ‘Elaboratio’!

Thanks to the musicians for their artistry, and shout out to the amazing Johnny van Gend, Jess Wells and Ed La Broq for sharing your talent with us.

If you missed the concerts, tune into ABC Classic on June 16!

REVIEW | QSO | Stage Whispers

https://www.stagewhispers.com.au/reviews/spirit-violin

“Hosted by the ebullient Ed Le Brocq, the two-hour programme introduced one of the QSO’s newest additions – Johnny van Gend on violin – and also farewelled cellist extraordinaire Craig Allister Young after a 35-year career with the orchestra. Safe in the hands of award-winning conductor Jessica Gethin (currently Principal Conductor with West Australian Ballet, and Head of Orchestral Studies and Conducting at the WA Academy of Performing Arts), the musical choices were bold and bracing, with a ballet and opera watermark”.
