Conductor and Musical Director, Maruki Community Orchestra
Paul Hubbard
Paul Hubbard joined Maruki in 2008 in the second violin section and later served as concertmaster before becoming Musical Director.
Paul studied violin with Jean Lehmann OAM in Bendigo. At Girton Grammar School he was Music Captain and performed widely, including with the Bendigo Youth Orchestra. During this period he also performed with Trio Pascalia, a chamber ensemble that played concerts and weddings.
While studying at the University of Tasmania, Paul remained active in music as a tenor with the Tasmania University Musical Society, serving as the society’s President in 2004–05.
Paul is also the author of the biography John Gould and the Maruki Community Orchestra, which documents John Gould’s remarkable life in music and the history of the ensemble. As Musical Director, Paul carries forward that legacy, building a welcoming orchestral environment in which musicians can perform great orchestral repertoire together.
