A message from the Vice-Chancellor
I would like to invite you, your family and your friends to attend the Bushfire Benefit Concert we are staging in support of the victims of the Victorian bushfires.

The concert will take place in the Great Hall on Tuesday 10 March 2009 and will feature a selection of the Conservatorium’s finest talents led by the Dean, Professor Kim Walker. Professor Mark Adams, Dean of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources will open proceedings and provide insight into why the Victorian fires were so devastating.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $7.50 for students/concession and can be
booked online. All proceeds from the concert will be donated to the Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal.

I encourage you to attend this exceptional concert and help us support those communities devastated by the fires.
