SUPPORT YOUR FESTIVAL – DONATE NOW! Opus, Circa and Debussy String Quartet (page 22). Image: Justin Nicholas Many of the events detailed in these pages would not have had the opportunity to be seen in Melbourne if it were not for the support of people like you. The Festival cannot survive on ticket sales alone. Whether $2 or $2,000, we rely on contributions from individuals to maintain our leadership position and sustain our future. When you support Melbourne’s international arts festival by making a tax-deductible donation, you strengthen this city’s culture and international reputation and reinforce that the festival is truly an event of the people of Melbourne. Donations of $1,000 or more enter you into the Patrons Circle, a vibrant and ever changing festival core of arts lovers that reflects the very best of the wonderfully diverse Melbourne community. You may also like to consider making a bequest to Melbourne Festival in your will – and we encourage you to let us know of your intentions so that we can keep you informed of Festival developments.

Every gift you give empowers our ability to create, commission and present exceptional art from around the globe to delight and stimulate Melbourne audiences. Thank you for your support. 117
