Thank you to everyone who came, performed, spoke, danced and sang on Sunday at ‘We 
the Arts.’ Congratulations to Cheryl Szatow particularly on her NSW Government Community Service Award, presented on Sunday by Matt Cross MP (more on this shortly!).
A few photos from the incredible groups involved in the day:
- Hummingsong Choir
- Sanskriti (School of Indian Performing Arts)
- Sunshine Philharmonic
- Dance1
- Killara Scottish Country Dancers
- KPO String Ensemble
- Challis Singers
Thank you also to the speakers;
- Mayor – Christine Kay
- Tony Bates – Marian St ACTION
- Matt Cross MP
- Giselle Beale MSTYP
- Tom Sweeney – Pymble Players
Thank you to the organisers of the event, in particular Lisa Munckton and Gai Emmerson.
Many of these incredible local groups now perform mostly or wholly outside Ku-ring-gai. Some have, through lack of performance venues, relocated entirely to other Council areas (Sadly, a not uncommon situation for many people in the performing arts who reside in our area).
It’s time, Ku-ring-gai Council. You have the perfect location. You have the design. You have the community’s support.
Just build it.
Thank you to the photographers at the event, particularly Dennis Brennan, Jessica Blaxland Ashby and other Marian St ACTION members.
