In 2016, Greg became the Musical Director for Brassall Christmas in the Park, and in 2019 he added the role of President of the committee.

A great opening night of Beauty and the Beast last night with the Ipswich Orpheus Chorale. All reports indicate that the audience loved this amazing production. Each performance is practically sold out. I am so proud of the cast, orchestra, technical crew and backstage crew for the huge effort that has been put into this show.

Had a great Sitzprobe today for Beauty and the Beast with the Ipswich Orpheus Chorale. Show opens on October 13 at the Ipswich Civic Centre.

A new announcement!

Our second announcement for Beauty and the Beast is to introduce our Musical Director, Mr Greg Wilson.

Greg Wilson is a graduate of the Queensland Conservatorium of Music, where he majored in Jazz and Classical Trumpet, and Music Education. While at the Conservatorium he played lead/principal positions with both big bands, the brass band and the wind orchestra. Greg has played with performers such as Marina Prior, James Morrison, Simon Gallaher, The Idea of North, Ian Stenlake, Daryl Somers, Angela Harding, Luke Kennedy and Naomi Price. He is a respected trumpet player in the Brisbane Music Theatre scene, having been a regular lead trumpet player with Harvest Rain Theatre Company from 2010-2014 as well as numerous other theatre companies in the South East QLD area.

More recently, Greg has transitioned to Musical Director and Conductor. In 2015 he made his MD debut with the Ipswich Orpheus Chorale's production of South Pacific. He returned as MD with the Chorale in 2016 in their all-new production of Jesus Christ Superstar. In 2016 he was appointed Musical Director for the 21st annual Brassall Christmas in the Park, which plays host to 6,000 people every year. Greg has also worked in the professional sound and lighting industry for 10 years with one of the country most respected production companies.

This morning I had the absolute honour to play The Last Post and Reveille at the Cityhope Church ANZAC Service. A great morning remembering and honouring those that have sacrificed so much for their country.

It has been a busy couple of weeks for Greg. He conducted the debut performance of the Ipswich Orpheus Orchestra last Sunday (2nd April), to which the orchestra recieved standing ovations from the large crowd. Then this weekend just gone he participated in the 24hr Musical Project of "Kiss Me Kate". A very intense 24hr rehearsal period prior to the one performance. Now to look forward to next weekend where he will be playing with the Brisbane City Temple Band of The Salvation Army in their Easter Weekend with special guest from the USA, William Himes. A weekend not to be missed.

I am looking for some strings and percussion players for an orchestra gig in Ipswich on Sunday April 2nd. Anybody interested? Required for 2 rehearsals prior.

There will be an exciting announcement made in the coming days. Stay tuned!
