MEDIA RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 31 March 2025 A statement from Jayson Gillham on resolution with Sophie Galaise and ongoing case against MSO I acknowledge the statement made by Sophie Galaise regarding the events surrounding the cancellation of my performance with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra on 15 August 2024 . I appreciate that Ms Galaise has expressed regret for the circumstances that led to the cancellation and that she has accepted that I believe I was entitled to speak as I did during my recital on 11 August 2024. I am pleased to report that the former dispute between me and Sophie Galaise has now been resolved My case against the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra , however, remains ongoing.

I am challenging that claim. This case is about more than one performance. It r...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Jayson Gillham | Melbourne Town Hall Concert, 11 August, 2024 Melbourne, August 13, 2024 For clarity, we are releasing Jayson Gillham's comments during his performance on Sunday, 11 August, at Melbourne Town Hall, presented by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

  MEDIA RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 10 March 2025 Melbourne Symphony Orchestra attempts to silence political discrimination case on legal technicality International concert pianist Jayson Gillham has called out the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) for attempting to have his discrimination case thrown out on a legal technicality, rather than addressing the facts surrounding his cancellation. The case returns to the Federal Court of Australia on 17 March 2025 , where the MSO will argue that Jayson’s claim should be struck out without a hearing on the substance of the allegations — a move that could have far-reaching consequences for all freelance artists and contracted workers in Australia. “The MSO are trying to avoid facing the facts in court,” said Jayson Gillham. “They are arguing that because I was engaged under a particular type of contract, I shouldn’t be protected by Australia’s workplace discrimination laws. If they succeed, this would create a dangerous loophole that...
