TOUR LEADER
Robert Gay has significant expertise as a music history educator and tour leader, having designed and led more than 100 tours to the great musical cities of Europe and North America.
Known for his popular music history courses, which have been offered at the University of Sydney’s Centre for Continuing Education for more than 30 years, Robert’s musical expertise extends from the Baroque period through to the great composers of the modern era.
Robert trained as a lyric baritone in London and Munich, and he was also President of the Sydney Schubert Society for many years. He has been a guest lecturer for the Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Society (ADFAS, now Arts National), and is regularly invited to present talks on opera and music history to organisations such as the Wagner Society NSW.
“Robert's energy and enthusiasm are infectious. His knowledge about and perspective of the music and performance is stellar. [His] communication with tour members was outstanding” - Aris U, Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, July 2024
