Her name is Gemma New, and she's been hailed as "one of the brightest rising stars in the conducting firmament". More important - to us at any rate - is that the in-demand conductor was born and bred in Wellington New Zealand. Here she is conducting Lilburn's Overture Aotearoa. After concerts were cancelled leading to 5 months of enforced semi-isolation in the US where she's based, Gemma's back here to work with several orchestras, including the NZSO.
