As we near the end of the financial year, annual general meetings for many arts organisations are resulting in board changes.

The Song Room, which describes itself as ‘the only Australian education organisation delivering multi-year arts learning programs across the full spectrum of artforms, creating lasting outcomes for both students and teachers’, has announced the retirement of its current Chair Anthony Mackay AM. Simultaneously, The Song Room announced the appointment of new Chair Matt Deeble.
