We are delighted to feature three celebrated composers in tonight’s program. Mozart’s string concerto is a masterclass in storytelling, highlighting Sydney Symphony’s Associate Concertmaster, Harry Bennetts and Principal Viola, Tobias Breider. Conducted by Alexander Shelley, orchestral favourites by Debussy and Rimsky-Korsakov evoke vivid images of mythical Greece and Arabian Nights. Emirates is incredibly grateful to Australia for welcoming us into their home for over 20 years, allowing us to build a local workforce of over 1,000 people and to partner with leading cultural organisations such as the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. In January this year, we announced our pledge to support bushfire relief in Australia, donating 10% of inflight sales and matching contributions dollar-for-dollar, using our global reach to maintain awareness and support for recovery efforts. We are also supporting our workforce on other employee-led fundraising initiatives to contribute to the bushfire relief efforts. At Emirates, we remain committed to Australia and are proud to support charities and organisations who are making a real difference. Sydney Symphony Orchestra is a leader in this field, with many of their musicians performing community concerts to raise funds for bushfire relief earlier this year. Tonight, my hope is for music to be a positive and uplifting force. It is my pleasure to welcome you to this Emirates Metro Series performance of Debussy, Mozart and Rimsky-Korsakov.

Bujari gamarruwa. Mudgingal. Babana. Gamarada. Gadigal.1 I acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, on whose lands I am meeting with you this evening and acknowledge their elders past, present and emerging. 2. The title of this lecture, Aboriginal Australians and the Common Law is ambitious in its potential breadth and depth. My aim in this lecture is to provide an historical exposition of what has occurred in the common law to date. Indeed, as Governor of New South Wales, it is not appropriate to do more. It has certainly been challenging but at the same time, rewarding. 3. The rightful place of Aboriginal Australians in this country is a topic in which all Australians are, or are becoming, increasingly invested. 2 However, relationship without understanding and investment without knowledge has a hollow ring. Indeed 4 decades after the end of World War II, the President of the Federal Republic of Germany said: ‘Anyone who closes his eyes to the past is blind to the present. Whoever refuses to remember the inhumanity is prone to the risks of re-infection.’3 *The Honourable Margaret Beazley AC QC is 39th Governor of New South Wales, commencing her term on 2 May 2019.
