Geoffrey Simon

Geoffrey Simon represents something I find quietly romantic about the music world. Born in Adelaide in 1946, he built a career as a conductor based in London, carrying his Australian roots into the very heart of the classical establishment. What I admire most is that he is also a music educator; the willingness to hand the art down to the next generation, rather than merely shine on the podium, reveals real depth of character. He strikes me as a diligent craftsman who has left a steady, unflashy mark on the recorded repertoire. An artist still wielding the baton near eighty earns my sincere respect.
