Redlands on Stage would not be possible without the generous support of Redland City Council

Queensland Arts Council (Redland Arts Council Inc.)
Redlands Arts Council Inc (RAC) was established in November 1991 as a branch of the Queensland Arts Council (QAC) becoming incorporated in 1995.  It continues to operate under the umbrella of the QAC receiving benefits such as Public Liability insurance cover for their gazetted events; however it is responsible for determining its own involvement within the local community.

The Redlands Eisteddfod Inc., was established in 2000 by a small group of local people to promote community interest and involvement in the performing arts through conducting of healthy competition in the disciplines of Dance, Music, Speech and Drama in the Redland City and to encourage the achievement of excellence in the performing arts through the awarding of Prizes, Bursaries and Scholarships.

 

The Eisteddfod, now in its 10th year, continues to grow stronger each year, attracting competitors from near and far throughout Queensland to Northern NSW.  In 2006, the Eisteddfod initiated the South East Queensland Aria and Concerto Competition, which has attracted competitors nationwide and boasts a prize purse of more than $20,000. Many of the winners of this competition have gone on to win the Symphony Australia Young Performers Awards as well as several place getters now studying overseas on Scholarships.

Mayor's Message 

I am delighted to welcome you to Redlands on Stage  which is now in its fourth successful year.

Our community identified the importance of performing arts to the culture, diversity, and enjoyment of the Redlands, through the Redlands 2030 Community Plan consultations. Our 10-year cultural plan, Our City Our Culture: A Cultural Plan for the Redlands 2008 -2018, also affirms the need to preserve our culture to strengthen our sense of community and foster a unique identity, while expressing our links to the past and dreams for the future. 

Redlands on Stage enables us to promote talented artists, and raise valuable funds that support the development of Redlands’ performing arts groups and artists. All proceeds raised through ticket sales will be invested through the Redlands Arts Council and Redlands Eisteddfod for the benefit of the community.

This year’s performance showcases our finest home-grown talent and welcomes some visiting artists. These performers are set to captivate audiences through an enjoyable program of entertainment with music, song and dance.

Over the years, we have continued to make improvements to this event, which have raised its profile as a fundraiser, and enabled us to provide an impressive, quality performance for our many loyal supporters.

I’d like to pay tribute to all those involved in supporting, organising and performing in this year’s event.

I thank all of the businesses who have provided very generous sponsorship; the Redlands Arts Council, Redlands Eisteddfod and RPAC for their help coordinating the event; and the talented local and visiting artists who kindly accepted our invitation to perform for you.

And finally, I’d like to thank you - our audience - for joining us for the concert. I hope these fabulous acts will entertain and enthral you, and leave you feeling inspired and ever proud to be part of the Redlands community. Without your continued support, this show wouldn’t be possible.

Melva E Hobson PSM
Mayor of Redland City
