Rio performed a piece on the night by Debussy. Isabel Oxenbridge played a piece by Chopin. Isabel was the Quota Joyce Phillips 2023 Awardee. Shirley and Margaret were impressed by the performances and commented on the organisation and
smooth running of the ceremony.
Joyce Phillips, who was a long-standing member of the Brisbane Club made a bequest to the club for the annual award.
AMEB Queensland nominate a promising student of piano each year. Along with money, the recipient also receives a certificate from the Quota Brisbane club to commemorate their achievement.
