Kerry Jago conductor

Young conductor Kerry Jago was the second recipient of a Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation grant which allowed him to return from Germany to conduct the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra in 2005. At that time Kerry had been studying for four years at the Hochschule fur Musik und Theater in Hanover under Eiji Oue, the musical director of the North German Radio Philharmonic.  He currently divides his time between Germany, where he has regular conducting engagements and Holland (The Hague) where he is in his third year of a four year degree studying singing as a counter-tenor.
