Jason Barry-Smith’s study in Brisbane, Munich, London and Rome led him to a singing career on the Australian and New Zealand concert, music theatre, and operatic stage.

He’s also a well known singing teacher, musical director, arranger, and director who specialises in regional community based arts projects.
