After six festivals in which she delivered more programs than any of her predecessors in Brisbane Festival history, the popular Artistic Director has announced today (24 April) that she will be stepping down from the role at the end of the 2025 Festival.
“Leading Brisbane Festival has been one of the great honours of my career – a place where bold ideas, community and creativity come together in the most powerful ways. I’m immensely proud of what we’ve achieved, and grateful to be leaving the Festival in such a strong and confident position,” said Bezzina in a media statement. “I’m really looking forward to delivering one final program that celebrates everything this city and its artists make possible.”
