 Nina TAYLOR (Albert Park) (17:22): (936) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Creative Industries, and the action I seek is for him to attend the celebration of the Australian Art Orchestra’s 30th anniversary concert taking place at the Melbourne Recital Centre. This milestone event celebrates three decades of the Australian Art Orchestra’s remarkable contributions to the arts across Victoria. Over the past 30 years the AAO has profoundly shaped our creative communities through its transformative and culture-defining art music. This concert promises to be an extraordinary journey of memory, imagination and celebration, offering a unique window into the past, present and future of this iconic organisation. The arts are at the heart of Victoria’s cultural and economic identity, and events like this highlight the importance of supporting our vibrant creative industries. They foster innovation, connect communities and showcase Victorian talent on a global scale. I encourage the minister to join this celebration and witness firsthand how organisations like the Australian Art Orchestra continue to elevate Victoria as a cultural powerhouse.
