BONUS: Jayson Gillham on his Federal Court trial against Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
6/10/202637 min
In his first interview since his trial ended, pianist Jayson Gillham sits down with Antoinette Lattouf to talk through his 15-day Federal Court trial against the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
Jayson believes the MSO canceled his performance after he dedicated a piece of music to Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza.
He talks about why he fought back so hard, the cost of standing his ground and what this high-stakes battle taught him about the state of our arts and media landscape.
Plus, there's a little surprise if you make it to the very end of the episode.
