Classical pianist Jayson Gillham loses discrimination case against MSO over Gaza comments – video

A classical pianist who sued the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra has lost his case after he alleged he was unlawfully discriminated against because of his views on Israeli forces killing Palestinian journalists. Gillham had claimed the MSO’s cancellation of a Melbourne concert he was contracted to perform on 15 August 2024 was an attempt to silence him over his stance on Israel’s attacks in Gaza. Justice Graeme Hill handed judgment down on Friday, finding that the MSO would have taken the same actions had Gillham expressed a political belief in support of Israel.
