    CHAPTER 5 EXTERNAL FACTORS IN THE DECLINE OF THE PHILHARMONIC The decline and ultimate demise of the Royal Philharmonic Society of Sydney can be attributed to many factors. The evidence in the previous chapter has shown that the absence of a strong and long-term conductor during the second half of the Philharmonic’s existence hampered the organisation’s advancement. This artistic deterioration was further worsened by an increase in internal arguments, specifically among members of the committee. Later, during the Lastelle years, this conflict was felt between members of the choir and their conductor. These internal issues were further compounded by other significant factors. Externally, the Philharmonic faced a change in musical trends, increase in competition from several sources, specifically the ABC, and an ongoing lack of support from the city and state governments. As the Philharmonic faced artistic decline, the response from the press became more negative and public support for the ensemble waned. A close examination of these external factors will reveal the part they played in the collapse of the Royal Philharmonic Society of Sydney. A Change in Musical Trends and an Increase in Competition The amateur choral music society was an institution of the nineteenth century. These societies originated in Europe, specifically England, in the tradition of performances by amateur musicians encouraged by the Enlightenment movement of the eighteenth century.1 The social elites in Australia in the late nineteenth and early 1 Donald Jay Grout and Claude V.

  • Remembering Edouard Borovansky and His Company 1939–1959
    REMEMBERING EDOUARD BOROVANSKY AND HIS COMPANY 1939–1959 Marie Ada Couper Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2018 School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne 1 ABSTRACT This project sets out to establish that Edouard Borovansky, an ex-Ballets Russes danseur/ teacher/choreographer/producer, was ‘the father of Australian ballet’. With the backing of J. C. Williamson’s Theatres Limited, he created and maintained a professional ballet company which performed in commercial theatre for almost twenty years. This was a business arrangement, and he received no revenue from either government or private sources. The longevity of the Borovansky Australian Ballet company, under the direction of one person, was a remarkable achievement that has never been officially recognised. The principal intention of this undertaking is to define Borovansky’s proper place in the theatrical history of Australia. Although technically not the first Australian professional ballet company, the Borovansky Australian Ballet outlasted all its rivals until its transformation into the Australian Ballet in the early 1960s, with Borovansky remaining the sole person in charge until his death in 1959. In Australian theatre the 1930s was dominated by variety shows and musical comedies, which had replaced the pantomimes of the 19th century although the annual Christmas pantomime remained on the calendar for many years. Cinemas (referred to as ‘picture theatres’) had all but replaced live theatre as mass entertainment. The extremely rare event of a ballet performance was considered an exotic art reserved for the upper classes. ‘Culture’ was a word dismissed by many Australians as undefinable and generally unattainable because of our colonial heritage, which had long been the focus of English attitudes.

  • Oswald Anderson
    OSWALD ANDERSON (1885-1944) Although best remembered today as one of Australia's radio broadcasting pioneers, Oswald Anderson's career prior to 1925 saw him regarded as one of the country's leading composers of popular and concert songs. He was also involved in repertory theatre in Sydney as a manager, producer and director, co- founded a music college, set up his own publishing company, collaborated with author Conway Drew on the stage adaptation of his hit novel Jinker the Grafter's Mate (1916), and had a long association with the music publisher and instrument importer W. H. Paling. Anderson's radio career began officially in 1925 (although he took part in at least one experimental transmission in 1923). His achievements during the next 19 years included the formation of the Federal Radio Network (later renamed the Commonwealth Broadcasting Network) and overseeing a number of significant Australian radio firsts - initially with Sydney station 2FC and later with 2BL, 2UW and 2UE. Considered one of the best-known figures in early Australian radio during the 1920s, Oswald Anderson was widely referred to as "A.O." (or Andy to his friends), and often described as "dapper." While few Australian's within the broader public would recognise his name today, he is nevertheless regarded by radio historians as one of the first active leaders of Australian broadcasting, a position his contemporaries also believed he held. While his contribution to the industry is invariably acknowledged in contemporary insights into our early radio history, few even mention his background prior to entering the field in 1925, and indeed his reputation as being among our most successful composers of popular and concert songs during the 1910s and 1920s is rarely mentioned.

  • Broadcasting in Queensland
    750 BROADCASTING IN QUEENSLAND [By CHARLES PORTER] (Read before the Society on 24 August, 1961.) In these push-button days when we automatically accept both Broadcasting and Television as essential parts in the complex of normal existence, it is most difficult to recall those quiet days before radio and living-room pictures came along to bedevil our exis­ tence and inhibit both reflection and conversation. It seems an age away. Yet in real terms this silent era was not so long ago that many of us uncon- fined to wheel-chairs or relegated to homes for the aged, cannot vividly recall it. For my own part, I can recall much of it with a rather startling clarity. I say startling, because such memories seem to date one even more than the clothes worn in old snap-shots. If an armour-plated curiosity from the Age of Saurians suddenly appeared on the modern scene, he would feel understandably a little out of time and out of place. But I could sympathise with him, knowing how he would feel. Indeed, as one interested in radio from its very earliest stages, and who then was actively involved in its early tentatively organised development, I some­ times feel that I must be well out of my own time cycle. Radio in Queensland is forty years old this year. That is not so very long, as time goes, but when miracle presses upon miracle with each successive crowded technological year, then memory quickly be­ comes blunted and fore-shortened, and time seems to stretch and stretch.

  • Pdf Historical Paper No 14 Axemen and Sawmills
    Historical Paper - No.1 4 Of The Forests and Timber Sawmills - Teamsters and Axemen In Mount Wilson The early years I outlined in an article in 2011 written for the Heritage newsletter of the Blue Mountains Association of Cultural and Heritage organisations the birth of sawmilling in Mount Irvine. What then was the story of sawmilling in Mount Wilson? In the earlier days timber was certainly cut but not on an organised basis or in a purpose built permanently sited mill. It certainly took place but it was after World War I. Part of the explanation lies in the different origins of European settlement on these two mountains. Mount Irvine began as a farming and rural development; Mount Wilson 20 years before 1897 was the quintessential ‘Hill Station’ where wealthy people established some retreats arriving in November and departing in April to their comfortable homes in Sydney, Newcastle, Mulgoa or Mudgee. Yet those same notable members of Society were confronted with the ‘impenetrable bush’ or ‘brush’ on Mount Wilson as it was called. 1 A glimpse of the ‘Brush’. This is the pristine state of the temperate rainforest on Mount Wilson before settlement. It seems puzzling that the Mount that was to become known as Mount Wilson after 1868 remained undiscovered for so long. Already Mount Tomah was known following the early journey of George Caleyin 1804 who reached Mount Banks (known as Mount King George for many years). These mounts along with Mount Bell, Mount Tootie and Mount Hay were covered with a layer of basalt capping, the remnant of an 18 million-year-old lava flow across this landscape.

  • The Australian Media Hall of Fame: an Overview
    The Australian Media Hall of Fame: An Overview By Michael Smith – Chair of the Advisory Panel Doltone House, Sydney, 10 November 2017 ORIGINS The Australian Media Hall of Fame began as a logical extension of the Melbourne Press Club’s mission to celebrate excellence in journalism. The club has hosted the Graham Perkin Journalist of the Year Award for 40 years, the Victorian Quill awards have been going for more than 20 years and more recently the club introduced the Harry Gordon Australian SPorts Journalist of the Year Award. Within the Hall of Fame, for the first time the achievements of our best contemPorary journalists can be measured in a historical context alongside the most important PeoPle of the Past. The Walkleys only go back six of the 19 decades since the news business started in Australia. Many of the Australian media trailblazers are unknown to journalists, let alone the Public. Finally, the Hall of Fame project was generated when the Public was being asked to Pay for journalism in new ways when there were free alternatives available online. The Hall of Fame tries to demonstrate the achievements of great journalism and show why it is worth suPPorting and Paying for. CRITERIA The Hall of Fame is not just about excellence, although it helps a lot. The key criteria is imPact - people who have helped shape the history of their craft, their organisation, Public debate, their city, State, nation or- in one or two cases - the world. You don’t have to be saintly to be in the Hall of Fame.
