Scotland hires anti-Israel pianist
NewsThe activist Australian pianist Jayson Gillham, who provoked a crisis at the Melbourne Symphony with an anti-Israel diatribe, has been invited to join the staff of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland as Lecturer in Keyboard.
‘There is nothing more rewarding and inspiring than working with the next generation of talented young musicians!’ he says.
The college will presumably keep an eye on some of his wilder teachings.
I have no problem with this…
Those that can’t, inspire tent cities on Renfrew St.
She’s an appropriate choice for Scotland in 2024.
Wilder teaching like “genocide is wrong.”
There is no problem with him joining the faculty in Scotland. He might wish to know his employment opportunities are fewer in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and elsewhere in that region, except Israel.
If he stops a student mid-phrase, raises his arms and begins mourning Nasrallah—it seems probable—the students should be forewarned. Hopefully he will not mix politics with curriculum.
While I have already forgotten his name (Jayzen?), he has found a way to cut through the noise of the performing arts world and plant his feet into a pile of tabloid standard relevance.
Bravo! All publicity is good publicity
Anti-Israel diatribe? I think his comments were on Netanyahu”s war-like actions.
