Signature of Student: Date: 12 August 2014 3 INTRODUCTION Alf Pollard’s contribution to the business history of Australia is as yet unwritten—both as a biography of the man himself, but also his singular, albeit often quiet, achievements. He helped to shape the business world in which he operated and, in parallel, made outstanding contributions to Australian society. Cultural deprivation theory tells us that people who are working class have themselves to blame for the failure of their children in education1 and Alf was certainly from a low socio-economic, indeed extremely poor, family. He fitted such a child to the letter, although he later turned out to be an outstanding counter-example despite having no ‘built-in’ advantage as he not been socialised in a dominant wealthy culture.

Sparks will fly as acclaimed pianist Simon Tedeschi joins forces with Adelaide percussionist Nick Parnell in a musical celebration of rhythm, colour and vitality. Blurring the lines between classical and jazz, this spectacular show will include Simon’s signature work - Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue - and the dazzling, Brazilian-inspired Bem-Vindo. “This collaboration came about after Simon and I met in Sydney more than a year ago. It wasn’t long before we realised that we both have a passion for not only classical music, but for jazz as well,” Nick explains. “We decided it would be fun to play music together because we both share the same sense of adventure in exploring different styles of music. It’s going to be exciting to see what happens in the performance!” Virtuosi will be the very first time Nick and Simon have collaborated on stage and the performance is set to be explosive! Both artists have recently returned from extended overseas performances tours. Nick is fresh from a performance and research tour of the USA, France and the UK after winning the prestigious “Dame Roma Churchill Fellowship”. Simon just recently got back to Australia after spending some time living and performing in the USA. “Nick Parnell is a complete and utter star.

  • Adventures in Film Music Redux Composer Profiles
    Adventures in Film Music Redux - Composer Profiles ADVENTURES IN FILM MUSIC REDUX COMPOSER PROFILES A. R. RAHMAN Elizabeth: The Golden Age A.R. Rahman, in full Allah Rakha Rahman, original name A.S. Dileep Kumar, (born January 6, 1966, Madras [now Chennai], India), Indian composer whose extensive body of work for film and stage earned him the nickname “the Mozart of Madras.” Rahman continued his work for the screen, scoring films for Bollywood and, increasingly, Hollywood. He contributed a song to the soundtrack of Spike Lee’s Inside Man (2006) and co- wrote the score for Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007). However, his true breakthrough to Western audiences came with Danny Boyle’s rags-to-riches saga Slumdog Millionaire (2008). Rahman’s score, which captured the frenzied pace of life in Mumbai’s underclass, dominated the awards circuit in 2009. He collected a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award for best music as well as a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for best score. He also won the Academy Award for best song for “Jai Ho,” a Latin-infused dance track that accompanied the film’s closing Bollywood-style dance number. Rahman’s streak continued at the Grammy Awards in 2010, where he collected the prize for best soundtrack and “Jai Ho” was again honoured as best song appearing on a soundtrack. Rahman’s later notable scores included those for the films 127 Hours (2010)—for which he received another Academy Award nomination—and the Hindi-language movies Rockstar (2011), Raanjhanaa (2013), Highway (2014), and Beyond the Clouds (2017).

    AWARDS Monday 7th November 2016 NSW Parliament House changing lives strengthening communities Brochure.indd 1 25/10/16 9:34 pm We would like to express our thanks to our host at NSW Parliament House, Mr. Matt Kean MP, Member for Hornsby, Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer Fast-tracking the education and experience of future leaders Since 1983 BBM Youth Support Awards have provided financial assistance to over 1000 talented young Australians to further their education and experience overseas. We offer them a life-changing experience that gives our future leaders access to tuition from internationally renowned experts. They also have opportunities to learn, experience and perform on a bigger stage whilst developing extensive international networks to help them excel in their chosen field. The impact of the BBM Youth Support Awards program on the broader community is immeasurable. Many of our award recipients are household names while others become inspirational ‘quiet achievers’. But they all have one thing in common. They return to Australia with the drive to share their knowledge and enthusiasm within their professions and their communities. They are the mentors, role models, teachers and employers of the future. They inspire the next generation of young people to follow their dreams. In today’s dollars, BBM Youth Support has invested over $7 million in the development of Australian Youth over the last 30 years through the awards program. BBM Youth Support Awards reach across a wide range of categories including the arts, agriculture and trades and inspire young people from all walks of life. If you share our passion for supporting Australian youth, contact us to contribute towards these life changing opportunities.
