" Garrie Hutchinson, The Australian "The funnier it gets - and it is very funny - the more urgently Williamson asks: how can anything be made to work, from a relationship between two people right through to an educational institution when human beings are the headstrong, contrary, passionate and self-seeking creatures that they are?"

  • President's Letter
    PRESIDENT’S LETTER February 2021 Dear Friends, Happy New Year! And welcome to our 35th year assisting the performing arts in Australia. 35th ANNIVERSARY Together, for three and a half decades, we have succeeded in honouring and strengthening Dr Seaborn’s generous and multifaceted legacy. We plan to celebrate this significant milestone with two special events - a daytime gathering (October 7th) and a Gala Fundraising Dinner (October 14th). We all hope that the COVID situation will be under control by then so that we can proceed with these events without restricting guest numbers. More details will be included in our future Newsletters. In the meantime, we have been planning a 35th Anniversary monthly WORDS & MUSIC series to be held throughout the year in our Seaborn Library. Each event will commence with morning tea at 10.30 am followed by entertainment at 11 am. Because of the early date and reduced numbers due to physical distance concerns, the first event on Feb 4th, With a Song in My Heart featuring Foundation Friend and jazz singer Evie Pikler, could not be widely publicised but will, we hope, be repeated later in the year and Friends should register their interest, by ringing Carol Martin on 99555444. On 4th March sensational young tenor Brad Cooper accompanied by Bev Kennedy will present MUSIC IN THE STRAND; on April 15th well-loved actor Peter Carroll will share some of Les Murray’s poetry arranged by John Senzcuk and on May 6th brilliant actress Sandy Gore will read from the letters of composers Alma Mahler and Clara Schumann with piano interludes provided by multi-talented singer, teacher, pianist Donna Balson.
