Paul Osborne

Paul has been involved in community arts for over three decades, including the Queensland Arts Council, little theatre, lobbying for regional libraries and arts facilities, and more recently promoting the value of music for children through the wonderful Woden Valley Youth Choir.

He has worked in the fields of journalism and public relations since 1990, most recently taking on the role of Media and Communications Director for the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference after 23 years with the AAP newswire.

He sees music as a communal and personal expression of joy, hope, unity and beauty.

Paul wants to see Music for Canberra expand opportunities for people of all ages to experience the gift of music.
