Our 2024 Autumn Showcase
Wednesday, 16th October 2024
For nearly 5 decades, the Australian Music Foundation has supported young Australian musicians to study at some of the finest cultural and educational centres in the UK, Europe and North America. Many have gone on to celebrated international careers.
High Commissioner Stephen Smith and Deputy High Commissioner Elisabeth Bowes PSM joined Australian Music Foundation UK Chair Yvonne Kenny AM for the Foundation’s 2024 Autumn Showcase at Australia House in association with the Australian High Commission in the United Kingdom featuring performances by our recent Awardees:
James Emerson (Baritone)
Rachel Siu (Cello)
Samantha Hargreaves (Soprano) and
Dario Scalabrini (Clarinet)
and with thanks to Ian Tindale (Piano).
The evening concluded with some words from our new Trustee and alumna, Samatha Crawford on our award's impact on her career.
Our guests, supporters and donors enjoyed wines by Jasper Hill Wines and Wines by Kylie Minogue.
