Your story is our story.

When I migrated to Brisbane in 1975, became an audience member of Queensland Ballet. later joined ‘The Queensland Ballet Friends’ for the social side of ballet and soon became involved with the committee who helped raise funds through various activities as well as help cater Opening Nights and other functions. I stepped back from my involvement in the Friends for a number of years and have in the past few years again become a QB Friend member in honour of the committee legacy.

Queensland Ballet over the years has given me much joy through taking me away from the humdrum of daily life and allowing me to experience the ‘magic’ on the stage. This, over the years made me realise that for this to continue, not only for me but for future generations, my contribution through a legacy would be of assistance. I hope that my legacy will help Queensland Ballet to continue their work with young dancers in both the Academy and the Company.
