<p>This week I had the joy of speaking with the wonderful Jessica O'Donoghue. We talked about her music career, motherhood and changing direction as an artist. </p><p>Jessica and I have crossed paths a few times; we've sung together, I've photographed her band and most recently when I conducted a new Australian work for which she was a composer.</p><p>Jessica is <strong>an award winning performer and composer</strong>, post-Baroque Dramatic Pop artist and creator of new artistic works and events. She is co-artistic director of The Song Company and will be performing the title role of "Aphrodite", a new opera composed by Nico Muhly & Laura Lethlean with Sydney Chamber Opera in June 2025.</p><p><br></p>
