King Charles meets the Australian Music Foundation

The King and Queen have hosted a reception at St James’s Palace in London to celebrate the Commonwealth Diaspora, attended by 300 notable guests including representatives of the Australian Music Foundation.

The Palace had invited the Australian Music Foundation to present our young musicians at the reception. Current AMF Awardee violinist Megan Young was selected to perform with the quartet she plays with, the Karelia Quartet.

His Majesty King Charles, the Patron-in-Chief of the Australian Music Foundation met Yvonne Kenny (Chair UK), Kate Paterson (AMF Trustee) and violinist Megan Yang (AMF Awardee) with the other members of the Karelia Quartet, fellow Australian Felix Pascoe (Violin), Takanori Okamoto (Viola) and Daniel Schultz (Cello) from the Royal Academy of Music.

The King and Queen will travel to Australia and Samoa later in October.

Channel 9 News Australia interviewed Yvonne Kenny and Megan Yang after the event. Sarah Macdonald later interviewed Megan Yang for Mornings on ABC Radio Sydney.
