With her trademark pony tail, blazer and comfy shoes, Sarah-Grace Williams is in control of Synthony - the musical phenomenon that combines a full orchestra with the biggest dance bangers.
Over 30,000 people crammed the Auckland Domain to experience it in February. What started as a small show in the Auckland Town Hall is now a regular in cities across Australasia.
Sarah-Grace has been Synthony's principal conductor since 2019. She has an impressive career, having conducted the Queensland, Adelaide, West Australian, Tasmanian and Perth Symphony Orchestras - as well as the Auckland Philharmonia.
In 2009 she founded her own orchestra - The Metropolitan Orchestra - based in Sydney. Its annual seasons include a variety of events - from its popular Met Concert seasons to its cushion concerts for kids.
Sarah-Grace will be back in New Zealand next week for Synthony's newest incarnation - Synthony Pride.
