General

Richard Gill is one of Australia's best-known and best-loved musical figures. His career has taken him from a music teacher in Sydney's western suburbs to the Music Director of the Victorian Opera, and along the way an involvement with almost every major opera company and orchestra in Australia. To the general public, he's still perhaps best-known for his role in the ABC's "Operatunity Oz", and his appearances on "Spicks and Specks". What truly marks Richard out is his passion and enthusiasm for spreading the joy and benefits of music. He is our greatest musical educator, and his life's work alongside his other roles has been pushing the role of music in our education system, as well as the education of those who've gone on to choose music as vocation.
