Gethin guided the orchestra with an instinctive and natural command of the score… and with the presence of an actual rock star

More about Jessica 

Across all her work, Jessica is committed to championing classical music as it enters the twenty first century. Her dedication to uphold integrity for the score, combined with bold programming choices and a natural flair for communicating with the audience, has contributed to her rapidly growing profile as a leader in the arts. Whether it be on a concert hall stage conducting a Beethoven symphony, presenting a family concert programmed with Stravinsky works, conducting a season of Giselle with the ballet or touring as music director for a international artist, Jessica is one of the most diverse conductors of her generation.

This commitment to exploring such breadth of repertoire has seen her work on concert stages with internationally acclaimed singers from Welsh baritone Bryn Terfel and Australian soprano Sara Macliver, to rock icon Chrissy Amphlett and multiple Grammy Award-winning artist Michael Bolton; conducting operatic gala celebrations to contemporary artists in symphonic pop programmes and directing unique project collaborations with jazz and world musicians including James Morrison, Kate Ceberano and Richard Walley. Jessica has worked extensively with film score, as well as conducting world premieres of several new compostions and a track record of commissing young composers.

Jessica is also recognised for writing, presenting and conducting her own symphonic programs and family concerts for orchestras.
