CHAIR’S 2012 REPORT

2012 was a strong Festival in every sense - and has given all of us the

confidence to plan a future with imagination and a bold spirit!

In our Artistic Director Piers Lane, so aptly honoured last year with an

AO in the Queens' Birthday Honours list, we have an extraordinary

musician and an amazingly adept creative program planner. Piers uses

his network of talented colleagues and his imagination and knowledge

to produce a yearly Festival full of surprises and musical richness while

also managing to stick within the inevitably tight budget at his

disposal!! Piers' leadership and commitment to the Festival is one of

our key strengths. The other is Sue Hackett, our skilled and

hardworking General Manager whose own knowledge, experience and

networks have enabled us to grow and strengthen the cost/revenue

dynamic of the Festival over the past two years.

Our loyal audience, our donors and sponsors large and small, the outstanding musicians, energetic

staff and the Townsville community continue to provide a unique mix of elements which form the

character of the AFCM.

I am pleased to announce that the Board has decided to establish an AFCM FUTURE FUND which

will, as it grows, protect and secure the long-term stability of the Festival. The fund will not be used

for operating costs of the Festival but is envisaged as an endowment fund which will, in time, give a

small income stream to the Festival. More importantly it will give security to our Festival given that

we do not own any significant physical assets and at the moment we live from year to year in terms

of financial health. Our goal is to have $1 million dollars in the Fund which is approximately one

year's operating budget. There will be very tight restrictions concerning the circumstances under

which the Fund can be accessed and two external consultants will also be advising the Board on its

use. Our initial contribution this year is primarily a windfall reimbursement of GST payments and

will total $75,000. We aim to secure $25,000 in foundation gifts from a small targeted group of

supporters. We will make, if possible, judicious annual contributions to the Fund but we also trust

that bequests and other gifts over time will contribute to the fund. We are conscious that we cannot

undermine the annual fundraising of the festival but we anticipate that there will be donors who will

want to give to the long-term security of the Festival from time to time. I hope all of our supporters

will consider support for the AFCM FUTURE FUND.

During 2012, we farewelled Professor Andrew Vann and Mr. David Kippin from the Board. Both of

these gentlemen made extraordinary contributions to the Festival and to the Board. I am very

pleased to say that both of them remain engaged and involved supporters of the Festival. We also

welcomed three new Directors to the Board during 2012: Professor Robyn McGuiggan Pro-Vice

Chancellor of James Cook University, Mr. Graham Jackson OAM, business leader and music lover

and Mr. Russell Mitchell, General Manager of Opera Queensland, a highly regarded arts manager

based in Brisbane. We have a diverse, committed Board who reflect the stakeholders of our Festival

and I thank them for their time and wisdom during the past year.

4

Finally I thank our Patron, Her Excellency, Ms Penelope Wensley AC, and our four government

partners Tourism and Events Queensland, Arts Queensland, Townsville City Council and the Australia

Council for the Arts.

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR’S 2012 REPORT

AFCM 2012 proved quite a hit! Nearly

everything went smoothly. The artists all

seemed to adore each other, I can’t think

of any sub-standard performance and I

was besieged with compliments on the

programming, to the point that I began to

be concerned about achieving a similar

success with artists and repertoire in

2013. Huge thanks are due to Sue

Hackett, whose flair and foresight,

professionalism and people skills,

intelligence and command are

exemplary. Under her leadership, Amy Zaghini has blossomed into an invaluable staff member, Deb

Bowbyes kept calm control over all sorts of potentially difficult situations and the rest of the

administrative team (Sophia, Rebecca, Jenny and Cameron) worked effectively and co-operatively

and very hard. Artists commented on how efficiently and thoughtfully everything was managed.

AFCM has developed a reputation for really looking after its artists well.

There was a solid core of overseas artists who all proved easy-going, diligent and masterly in their

performances. The replacement of the Storioni Trio’s leader at a fortnight’s notice (due to neck and

shoulder problems) with Natsuko Yoshimoto, based in Adelaide, was a coup. She fitted the trio like a

glove and learned all the required repertoire, much of it new to her, with extraordinary rapidity,

concentration and panache, qualities also necessary from Lorna McGhee and Cathy McCorkill, who

had to arrive, due to prior commitments, on the day of their first performance – the Opening Night -

Lorna from the States! They played magnificently…

Nigel Westlake was possibly the most communicative Composer-in-Residence we have ever had. He

stayed for the entire festival, coached artists, spoke at concerts and attended all events. He chatted

with audience members and charmed everyone.

William Barton provided some wonderful musical experiences – particularly at the Gala Dinner and

on Orpheus Island. Katie Noonan performed beautifully at all events, like her partner Karin Schaupp,

who came with new baby and mother in tow. The Camerata of St Johns impressed everybody this

festival. It is a great joy as AD to be able to include repertoire with string chamber orchestra and I

trust I shall be able to continue to work with them in the future. The inclusion of Gladys Chua, a

student from ANAM who has been a participant in a previous Winterschool, was a fabulous success.

She was the prime page turner, accompanied the Winterschool students when necessary,

accompanied the Children’s choirs and performed one broadcast piece in the main festival (the

difficult Nigel Westlake ‘Rare Sugar’). She was intelligent, willing and uncomplaining – and finally

sorted out many of our page-turning worries from other years.

The Band of Brothers poolside concert at

Jupiters worked beautifully – though cool

weather was a pity. The Chefs in the

North Dinner was a success too. Damien

Beaumont proved a genial co-host and

delightful support and foil to Maggie

Beer.

Collaborations with Steve Price, Dance

North, Allegretto Children’s Choir and

Belgian Gardens Choir proved popular

with local audiences and all were of a

pleasing level. The art competition to

provoke interest in the Families’ Concert

was also a worthy initiative and should be replicated for future festivals.

The acoustic achieved in the Civic Theatre with a little electronic enhancement this year was the best

I can remember. Shifting the Concert Conversations to C2 proved a great success. The acoustic there

is infinitely preferable to those we’ve had in the past. All those I spoke to appreciated the intimacy,

acoustic and sightlines and even enjoyed the opportunity to have morning tea outside in the

sunshine. St Josephs, with its naturally good acoustic, was also a lovely venue. The Cairns Civic

Theatre is dry acoustically – but with the very impressive audience we achieved, the sound improved

to a certain extent – certainly we felt we could communicate adequately and successfully. Whitfield

House for the Concert Conversation was a joy in every way. This trip, supported by the James Cook

University to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its Cairns campus, has, I think, inspired an ongoing

relationship with the city.

The volunteers were their usual wonderful selves, with many going beyond the call of duty to ensure

artists were where they wanted to be at any one time. Those in the kitchen at the Pit Building even

provided extra food themselves – cut up tropical fruit and homemade cakes and biscuits, all of which

were wildly popular with the artists.

We are terribly fortunate to have the support of Ara and Nyree Vartoukian and the Theme &

Variations shops in Sydney and Brisbane. They worked under great duress (the Sydney International

Piano Competition, which they also supply with instruments finishing just as rehearsals for the AFCM

started) to make pianos available to us on time and we salute their doggedness and generosity yet

again.

The 2012 AFCM was a genuinely massive success in all ways: artistic, financial and administrative –

and a great compliment to the intelligence and vision of its Board and team. On a personal note, I

was totally happy with EVERYbody I worked with this year – office staff, Board, collaborations,

artists, production team, ABC – it was a dream team! Let’s try to hold onto everybody for next year

and beyond!

GENERAL MANAGER’S 2012 REPORT

The Australian Festival of Chamber Music (AFCM) presented its 22nd

season in 2012. It was one of those memorable festivals where the

artists all took to the repertoire and their colleagues like ducks to water

and the enjoyment and excitement built over the ten day run. The

exuberant farewell concert was a wonderful celebration of high spirits

and good music, on both sides of the footlights. The Winterschool also

thrived and it was great to see the students and advanced players from

interstate occupying the rehearsal spaces and attending the concerts in enthusiastic groups.

Winterschool Director, Michele Walsh, was instrumental in raising the standard of

participant and the performance results they achieved.

For the first time we included a composer index in the programme book and it provided an

instant and impressive snapshot of the range and depth of the repertoire that Piers

programmes, we’ll be doing each year from now on. Box Office income exceeded

expectations (18% up on 2011), from the day tickets went on sale we were ahead of 2011

figures and that margin held through to the very last concert. Having the AFCM team in

place, a good Marketing strategy, and the programme brochure distributed via more

targeted outlets made a big difference. We are now at over 40% box office income and still

growing.

Attendance was up 9%, AFCM Membership increased by 18% though we dropped our Gold

Pass total by a handful. Work has gone into making sure our Gold Pass holders, fellow

travellers as it were with the artists, have an irresistible package in 2013 as they are such a

special group and great supporters of the AFCM.

Turnover for the year was $1.15 million and we ended with a surplus of $139,538 of which

$68,000 was a one off GST rebate. The AFCM team was still relatively lean, as it had had to

be in 2011, but with the financial situation more secure we can now return to more

appropriate staff levels.

The AFCM co-commissioned a work that will receive its Australian première at AFCM 2013.

Composer Ben Wallfisch’s Chopin’s Waterloo will be the fourth performance of this major

work, co-commissioned by the AFCM, the Wimbledon Festival in London, the Sitka Summer

Music Festival in Alaska and the El Paso Promusica Festival in Texas.

For the first time we filmed five days of the festival and now have a short 6’ film that we will

launch with the 2013 season, a lovely calling card that gives a great taste of the AFCM

experience.

Our government partners, Tourism and Events Queensland, Arts Queensland, Townsville

City Council and the Australia Council for the Arts all supported AFCM again and we were

particularly pleased to see the relationship with Tourism and Events Queensland take a big

step up with their recognising AFCM as a major event and therefore increased funding from

2013.

As always I am very grateful to our philanthropic supporters and our sponsors, the AFCM

Board, the small team running the Festival as well as our volunteers and interns. All of them

bring something that contributes to a deservedly much loved event. Keeping all the plates

spinning is always the challenge and 2012 saw the AFCM in fine form.
