ADFAS Brisbane is a thriving arts community where members and guests gather to hear International and Australian experts in the Arts present lectures on a wide range of topics. ADFAS Brisbane supports selected emerging musicians, dancers and artists. The funding empowers young artists to optimise their potential.

How has the Queensland Symphony Orchestra impacted on you?

The Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Society (ADFAS) Brisbane organises lectures and events to promote the cultivation and study of the decorative and fine arts, design, architecture and social history. The society fundraises to generate funds to enable ADFAS Brisbane to sponsor selected emerging musicians, dancers and artists. The intent is to support opportunities for young artists to receive the mentoring and experience that they need to optimise their potential.

Rachel Tyquin, Chair of ADFAS Brisbane, shared recently,

“We are committed to the support of young artists in our community through a range of philanthropic donations and by creating partnerships with leading arts organisations. It has been wonderful working with the Development Team at QSO in our sponsorship of the Young Instrumentalist Prize. It has also been rewarding to support the careers of emerging young artists of such a high standard in Queensland through the QSO."

Why is it important to support QSO?

The members of ADFAS Brisbane recognise the importance of supporting the development of young musicians and are proud to sponsor the Young Instrumentalist Prize. Our fundraising allows us to assist young artists to further their instrumental programs and help them achieve their career goals. 

What advice for people who want to consider supporting the QSO?

We have found that our support of QSO has provided great satisfaction and joy to all our members knowing that we are making a difference.
