We have lost a truly beautiful Australian. Conductor and music educator, Richard Gill passed away earlier today. He was 76 years of age.

I had the privilege of knowng Richard. He was a spectacular man, always interested in how other people were getting on. His lifelong vocation as a teacher of music will be his legacy.

He understood the great power of joy. A huge and irreplacable loss. Vale Richard Gill.

Obituaries here and here.

And here is a Facebook post featuring musicians playing Dam Busters outside his hime yesterday. Richard would have loved it.
