Trust the Tait to put on a party for a good cause

The Anniversary Gala of the Tait Memorial Trust is a yearly opportunity to showcase young Australian talent in the UK supported by the Trust’s programs. This year took on a special significance, with the celebration of three big anniversaries.

THE Anniversary Gala of the Tait Memorial Trust celebrated three milestones in Australian music history last Wednesday night at Australia House, London.

To fete the bicentenary of Irish Vincent Wallace, the 50th anniversary of the career of Australian conductor Sir Richard Bonynge and the 20th anniversary of the Tait Memorial Trust itself, scores of attendees were treated to a menu of operatic and orchestral music before sitting down to a more literal menu in the dining hall in the bowels of Australia House.

As ever, an enticing auction encouraged attendees to splash out generously to further help the Trust’s programmes.

The Tait Memorial Trust organises a winter gala every year to showcase young Australian talent funded through the Trust’s charitable scholarship programmes. The Trust has awarded more than £150,000 to Australian musicians and dancers over the last 20 years, helping to turn baked bean student dinners into solo careers on the world’s most famous stages.

This year’s anniversary gala was given especial prominence given the three celebrations. The music, conducted by Bonynge, was performed by the Southbank Sinfonia and featured solo sopranos Sally Silver and Elena Xanthoudakis, an Australian soprano who recently performed at the Glyndebourne Opera Festival.

The Irish composer, William Wallace, has become a darling of sorts of the Tait Memorial Trust’s winter programme and has as his champion the experienced Australian pianist Rosemary Tuck.
