Gary Wilby has recently retired after nearly 50 years in the classroom. He taught Music both in the classroom and as an Itinerant teacher – mostly in secondary schools. He was fortunate in 1995 to be appointed to the Composer in Schools position which resulted in many works for students to play. Gary graduated from the University of Canterbury with a MA(Hons). He plays piano and cello and while he has in the past sung in choirs, he now enjoys the annual NZCF Wellington May Workshop. Gary has played in many ensembles and has been in the Wellington City Orchestra (formerly Wellington Chamber Orchestra) since 1986. He formerly was for 15 years the Music Director and Conductor of the Capital Performing Arts Orchestra. He has regularly played with “Opus 3 Trio” for the past decade. This will be Gary's first performance in Futuna Chapel.
