CONDUCTORS

CHOIR CONDUCTORRachael Fennell graduated from The University of Queensland in 2006 with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Music and Drama and a Bachelor of Education. During this time, she was also awarded a Dean’s Commendation for high achievement.

Rachael began her teaching career at The Southport School (TSS) on the Gold Coast in 2007 where she has taught music, drama and media studies. By focusing on the use of voice in the classroom she quickly began to instil a love of singing in the students which led to the development of an 80-piece male choir along with an auditioned vocal ensemble of 20 singers. These groups perform on a regular basis and have been very successful in local competitions and eisteddfods.

In the summer of 2016, Rachael completed her Australian Kodaly Teaching Certificate with a rigorous two-week module focused on musicianship, methodology, practice and conducting techniques that took place over three consecutive Summer Schools. In the last 4 years she has received mentoring from Réka Csernyik, Paul Holley, Dr James Cuskelly, Katalin Körtvési and Dr László Norbert Nemes which has proved invaluable in further developing her passion for choral conducting.

Rachael feels very privileged to lead this group of highly motivated and intelligent young men who form the 2016 GPS Choir. She is sure that they will share their joy for singing with you and bring you with them on tonight’s musical journey.

SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA CONDUCTORCelia has worked nationally and internationally as a performer and music educator. She has played violin with the Tasmanian Symphony and the State Orchestra of Victoria, amongst other professional ensembles. Her commitment to the Colour Strings method is widely recognised and has seen her work throughout Australia as well as in various Music Institutes in Finland. Celia also directs the acclaimed Toowoomba Camerata and presents at educational workshops, conferences and string camps. She is in demand as an adjudicator and is an examiner for the AMEB. Currently Celia is Director of Strings at Toowoomba Grammar School.

CONCERT BAND CONDUCTORJohn Lynch is a leading international wind band conductor. He is the Director of Bands and Wind Symphony Conductor at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music where he guides all aspects of the band and graduate wind conducting programs, as well as serving as artistic director of the professional ensemble-in-residence: Verbrugghen. He was previously Director of Bands and Professor of Music at the University of Georgia. Other positions include those at the University of Kansas, Northwestern University, and Emory University. Dr. Lynch has also held positions as Music Director of the Chicago Northshore Concert Band, the Atlanta Youth Wind Symphony, and the Greater New York Wind Symphony (founder). He has performed throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, South America, Asia and Australia including invited tours of China and Argentina. He has three professional recordings on the Naxos label: Redline Tango (premiere recording in the Wind Band Classics Series); Millennium Canons: Looking Forward, Looking Back, and Street Song. Dr. Lynch is a published composer through C. Alan Music and Maestro and Fox. Awards include The American Prize, the national recipient of the Stanbury Award for outstanding conducting and teaching, New York’s Big Apple Corps National Leadership in the Arts award, The University of Georgia Creative Research Medal, a Northwestern University Searle Fellow for Teaching Excellence, membership in the Emory Scholars Committee, finalist for the Hungarian Radio Conducting Competition, and elected membership in the American Bandmasters Association and Phi Beta Mu international band honor fraternity.

Performances include the national conventions of the American Bandmasters Association, College Band Directors National Association, National Association For Music Education, the Midwest Clinic, Le Festival des Anches d’Azur in France, the Jungfrau Festival, and the Georgia and Kansas State Conventions. He has held residencies at the Conservatories in Vilinius, Lithuania, Alessandria, Italy, and the University of Costa Rica. Summer Festival conducting includes the International Festival in Santa Maria del Sol, Brazil, Verona’s Estivo Festival, Chicago Music for All Festival, Bands of America, and Interlochen. Guest conducting engagements include the United States Marine Band, Army Field Band, West Point Band, the national Concert Band of San Jose, Costa Rica, and honor bands in Beijing, Seoul, Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai, Mumbai, and Brisbane, and All-State bands throughout the United States.

Lynch is a passionate advocate for new music and has commissioned, recorded, and premiered works from around the globe by both today’s leading composers and young talent new to writing for the wind band medium. John Lynch holds degrees from Indiana University, the Eastman School of Music and the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music.
