Jayson Gillham on war, art and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra + Headlines
About this episode
Pianist Jayson Gillham made international headlines last month after dedicating a performance with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) to journalists who have been killed in Gaza.
The backlash from MSO was swift, resulting in Jayson’s performance being pulled. The MSO later admitted it "made an error”, but maintains the concert was not an appropriate place to express personal views, and an external review into the MSO is now underway.
In this episode of The Briefing, Antoinette Lattouf sits down with the pianist at the center of the headlines, to discuss what’s happened since his performance and the legal battle he now faces as a result.
Headlines:
Federal Government to ban social media for children
Princess Kate ‘cancer free’
Opposition at odds over whether to break up Qantas and Jetstar
