RMPs MELB CUP CLASSICAL CABARET FUNDRAISER On Melbourne Cup Day (Tuesday 4 November) the RMP Choir will again provide the musical entertainment for the opening ceremony of the Melbourne Cup Telecast, and will perform live to an international TV audience of hundreds of millions. Later that evening the RMP will hold a public fundraiser / social event at the Drill Hall from 6pm, a “Cup day Classical Cabaret”. Friends, families, audience, fellow musicians, and members of the wider community will have the chance to show their support by joining members of the RMP Choir and Orchestra for a fun, informal social gathering and musical celebration. This will also be an important fundraising event for the RMP which faces a bleak future, following the loss of all funding from the City of Melbourne in its recently announced round of triennial arts funding. Tickets will include light refreshments, fine wines and cheeses which have been generously donated, fruit platters and delicious nibbles, as well as wonderful entertainment provided by some of Australia’s finest opera, instrumental and chamber musicians including Stefan Cassomenos (piano), Monica Curro (Assistant Principal 2nd Violin, MSO), Philip Arkinstall Associate Principal Clarinet, MSO), pianist Amir Farid, Melbourne contemporary chamber music ensemble PLEXUS, and past and present musicians of the Australian National Academy of Music. There will also be a giant raffle, some fabulous door prizes and a silent auction with all proceeds going to the fighting fund to help keep the RMP making music in Melbourne. When: Tues 4th November 6pm -10pm At: The Drill Hall, 239 A’Beckett Street, Melbourne 3000 Bookings essential: trybooking/108257 Hurry to secure your tickets NOW, as places are strictly limited.
