Stephen Williams – Guest Conductor, GPS Concert BandStephen Williams has established himself as one of Australia’s most versatile conductors. In addition to conducting most of the Symphony Australia Orchestras, he has conducted, recorded and toured with the finest jazz ensembles and symphonic bands in Australia. He has directed and performed with Australian jazz groups at the Edinburgh, Monterey, Montreux and North Sea Jazz Festivals, has conducted concerts in Carnegie Hall and taken Australian orchestras, bands and jazz ensembles to conferences in the U.S.A, Japan, Europe, the U.K, Singapore and China.

Stephen currently works for the N.S.W Department of Education & Training, where he is chief conductor instrumental and conducting consultant for The Arts Unit. He took up this position at the beginning of 1999, prior to which he has held academic positions and conducting positions at a number of institutions including the School of Instrumental Music in Perth, the W.A Conservatorium of Music and the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

Stephen has also been a teacher with the N.S.W Department of Education and Training, distinguishing himself with an impressive record of achievement in the area of youth instrumental ensembles.

Today, in addition to his commitments at The Arts Unit, Stephen works as a freelance conductor and instrumental consultant and is frequently called upon to lecture, conduct clinics and adjudicate both in Australia and overseas. Over the last four years he has been engaged by Symphony Australia to present and conduct concerts and workshops for schools with the Sydney Sinfonia and Orchestra Victoria.

Stephen is also a talented trumpet player, in constant demand for professional performances with all kinds of groups ranging from symphony orchestras to backing groups engaged to perform with the world’s leading visiting artists.
