Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne Sidney Myer Music Bowl will host the opening ceremony of Cricket World Cup 2015 A hugely popular Melbourne venue for outdoor events, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl sprawls across a section of the Kings Domain Garden. The Sidney Myer Music Bowl is home to Carols by Candlelight and the free, open- air concerts of Melbourne Open Air Orchestra. The famous annual music festival is held here every January. The venue has seen regular performances by international artists. American musicians Jack Johnson, Lenny Kravitz, Kanye West and Canadian singer k. d. Lang- all have performed at the Bowl. History The idea for a music Bowl in Melbourne occurred to violinist and philanthropist Sidney Myer after he attended a show at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. On Myer's death the Sidney Myer Charitable Trust (now the Myer Foundation) was established. The trust funded the construction of the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. A total of $500,000 dollars was spent. The Sidney Myer Music Bowl opened its gates to the public on 12 February 1959. The inauguration was attended by thirty thousand people- a sign that the venue's popularity would only grow manifold in the years to come. In fact, the 1967 homecoming concert of the celebrated pop band Seekers, at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, saw an attendance of two hundred thousand people- the largest attendance at any concert in any part of Australia, ever! Architecture Chief architect Barry Patten was at least ten years ahead of his time when he designed this open air structure. The Bowl is a membrane covered tensile structure. Aluminum faced plywood panels have been securely attached to several prestressed cables which are in turn covered to an inextensible curved cable, the endpoints of which are attached to two masts. At the time of building, it was one of the very few structures in Australia to have employed this architectural technique, and also the grandest. Tours Guided tours are available at Arts Centre Melbourne. These tours cover all the six performing venues, including Sidney Myer Music Bowl. Guided Tours, specially packaged School Tours, and Theatres and Exhibition Tour are the three tours available. These tours take the visitor behind-the-scenes, and some tours may even include a theater workshop.

Tips for anyone visiting Sydney Myer Music Bowl : The shape of the Sidney Music Bowl ensures a superior sound quality. Make sure to attend a concert to truly appreciate the architectural greatness of the Bowl. If you cannot manage a seat inside the amphitheater try sitting on the grassy mound outside, rather than return home. Sitting out on the grass is a great experience too. Myer's philanthropy is not limited to the Bowl alone. Visit the Myer Department Store Chain and the Mural Hall to see other initiatives funded by the Myer Foundation.

    Arts and Culture Unnumbered Sparks: Janet Echelman, TED Sculpture Foreword Imagine a world without performing or visual arts. Imagine – no opera houses, no theatres or concert halls, no galleries or museums, no dance, music, theatre, collaborative arts or circus – and in an instant we appreciate the essential, colourful, emotive and inspiring place that creative pursuits hold in our daily life. Creating opportunities for arts to flourish is vital, and this includes realising inspiring venues which are cutting edge, beautiful, functional, sustainable, have the right balance of architecture, acoustics, theatrical and visual functionality and most importantly are magnets for artists and audiences, are enjoyable spaces and places, and allow the shows and exhibitions to go on. 4 Performing Arts Bendigo Art Gallery 5 Performing Arts Arts and Culture Performing and Visual Arts 03 08 – 87 88 – 105 Foreword Performing Musicians, Arts Artists, Sculptors and Festivals 106 – 139 140 – 143 144 Visual Arup Services Photography Arts Clients and Credits Collaborators Contents Foreword 3 Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall 46 Singapore South Bank Studio, Queensland Symphony Orchestra 50 Australia Performing Marina Bay Sands Theatres 52 Arts 8 Singapore Elisabeth Murdoch Hall Federation Concert Hall 56 Melbourne Recital Centre 10 Australia Australia Chatswood Civic Place 58 Sydney Opera House 14 Australia Australia Carriageworks 60 Glasshouse Arts, Conference and Australia Entertainment Centre 16 Australia Greening the Arts Portfolio 64 Australia Melbourne

    Page 1 of 10 MARKETING AND EVENTS COMMITTEE Agenda Item 5.4 REPORT 8 May 2007 EVENTS REPORT – 1 NOVEMBER 2006 TO 28 FEBRUARY 2007 Division Commerce & Marketing Presenter Peter Stewart, Manager Events Melbourne Purpose 1. To inform the Marketing and Events Committee of the events conducted within the City of Melbourne between 1 November 2006 and 28 February 2007. Recommendation from Management 2. That the Marketing and Events Committee accepts the Events Report – 1 November 2006 to 28 February 2007. Comments 3. The events outlined in this report relate to those coordinated through the Events Melbourne Branch of the City of Melbourne. A small number of arts events are coordinated through the Arts & Culture Branch and are not within the scope of this report. Water Restrictions and Events 4. The City of Melbourne has initiated a number of proactive strategies to significantly reduce the water consumption and water usage during events as a result of the current state-wide water restrictions. 5. These strategies involve utilising alternative or modified water-filled traffic management treatments; minimising water usage during vending, food preparation and drinking water fountains; using concrete/sand-filled weights instead of water-filled weights in infrastructure weighting; and utilising Class A recycled water for portable toilet flushing rather than drinking water. 6. As a result of these strategies being implemented, recent events have significantly reduced the level of water usage during events, for example New Year’s Eve 2006 utilised 250,000 litres less water and Moomba Waterfest utilised 300,000 litres less water than in previous years.

They are both managed by the same team and have separate but complementary philanthropic programs and activities. Sidney Myer, a generous philanthropist in his lifetime, left a portion of his estate upon his death in 1934 to be invested for the benefit of the community in which he made his fortune. That act created the Sidney Myer Fund which will exist in perpetuity. The income of the Fund is distributed annually. The Myer Foundation was established in 1959 by Sidney Myer’s sons, the late Kenneth Myer AC DSC, and Baillieu Myer AC, as a way to support initiatives and new opportunities arising from contemporary issues. The Myer Foundation was endowed through Kenneth Myer’s estate following his death in 1992. The Sidney Myer Fund and The Myer Foundation continue the legacy of Myer family generosity, through members of four succeeding generations of the Myer family, who give in many ways, to make significant and lasting contributions to our society. 3 How to Read this Report The FY19 Annual Report is organised Each pillar of the strategy features in a double page spread in this report.

    Rupert Myer: the Rising Tide of Philanthropy by Nicole Richards September 24, 2014

    Rupert Myer: The rising tide of philanthropy by Nicole Richards September 24, 2014 www.generositymag.com.au “There are a number of very wealthy, self-made, successful entrepreneurs who are bursting their boiler to create an adjacency with a thoughtful cultural organisation,” says Rupert Myer. “Too many arts organisations are missing this fact.” A luminary of the Australian philanthropic scene, Rupert Myer AM has been an active and devoted supporter of the arts for decades. He has held roles across Australia’s largest arts institutions, chaired the Commonwealth Inquiry into the Contemporary Visual Arts and Craft Sector, and currently sits on nine boards as well as serving as Chair of the Australia Council for the Arts. Myer’s deep philanthropic roots are, of course, steeped in a family history that was shaped by the legendary generosity of his grandfather, Sidney Myer. Though he grew up surrounded by the business of philanthropy, Myer says there was an understanding that merely carrying the family name did not make you a philanthropist. “All the family were invited to participate in the administration of the Myer Foundation and the Sidney Myer Fund,” he says. “We were very mindful of the fact that our involvement didn’t, in turn, make us philanthropists – we were administering someone else’s philanthropic act, be it that of my grandfather or my uncle or my father. Administering someone else’s philanthropic act doesn’t allow you to wear the shingle.” “But having had the exposure to the various organisations that have the support of the Foundation and Fund, I recognised that I had some capacity to become directly involved with my interest being in the arts, youth unemployment and indigenous affairs.
