Our Patrons and Supporters
The Woollahra Philharmonic Orchestra is honoured to have two very distinguished Australians in Margaret Whitlam OA and Peter Sculthorpe OA OBE as its patrons.
Peter Sculthorpe is arguably Australia's greatest composer. He is also
a long time resident of Woollahra. The orchestra was privileged to
give the world premiere performance of his Burke and Wills Suite, an
arrangement of music from the1985 film Burke and Wills. The Suite was
compsed especially for our orchestra. We have also performed Peter's
small masterpiece Small Town.
Margaret Whitlam, also a long time rsident in the Woollahra municipality, is a well-renowned supporter of the arts and has been a great cultural ambassador for the country.
The orchestra is very grateful for the generous support of Woollahra Council and, of course, our many friends and subscribers.
