Ahead of the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA)‘s conference and awards that will be held next week in Hobart celebrating the achievements and ideas of the industry, ArtSound FM in Canberra has received a very special message of support from their patron, The Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia is Her Excellency the Honourable Ms Sam Mostyn AC.
Listen below:
In May the then newly elected President of ArtSound FM, Bart Meehan, announced to station members and the CBAA this patronage saying:
“Her support, along with that of organisations like CBAA, is essential in helping us to bring the work of promising local artists to our community. ArtSound is committed to making Canberra one of the country’s greats centres of the arts.”
The feeling is clearly mutual with the Governor-General speaking of her joy in the music, arts activities, concerts, interview guests, with even a nod to Gregorian chants and ArtSound’s role in making Canberra the creative capital.
