The Australian pianist whose concert was cancelled by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra after he interrupted an earlier performance to speak about the conflict in Gaza is taking the matter to the Federal Court, stating he was “silenced for speaking the truth.”
At a concert in Southbank on Aug. 11, Jayson Gillham deviated from the scheduled programme and played a short piece called Witness, written by Connor D’Netto, which is dedicated to journalists who have been killed in the Gaza conflict.
