Cinque Artist Management warmly welcomes one of Australia’s most esteemed Conductors and Music Educators, Graham Abbott.
In a career spanning nearly forty years, Graham has been a guest conductor with all the state symphony orchestras, most of the major Australian opera companies, and most of the country’s major choirs. While his repertoire in orchestral, choral and operatic fields spans almost all periods and styles, Graham is most respected as a conductor of, and enthusiast for, the music of Handel, returning once again to the Sydney Opera House in 2024 to conduct Sydney Philharmonia Choirs’ performances of Messiah in December.
Graham is also in demand as a Music Educator, and is writer and presenter of the famed, weekly ‘Keys to Music’ series for ABC Classic, podcast series ‘Classics Unlocked’ for Universal Music Australia, and ‘Classical Uncovered’ for Melbourne Recital Centre (available on the major streaming platforms). He inaugurated the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra’s Unwrap the Music concerts in 2010, and presented and conducted most of the performances in that series until 2022. Graham is also a regular tour leader and speaker on Hayllar Music Tours, to some of the finest arts festivals and venues within Australia, and internationally.
