"Having now completed the twelve 'core' seminars at Sydney Opera House, I have been particularly impressed by the lecturers. They are leaders in their field, and many are major contributors to our cultural life, both in Australia and internationally. Their passion and energy have brought the subject content to life and made attendance at the seminars an inspirational experience.

The experience has also been enhanced by being in a smaller tutorial group rather than a lecture hall full of people. This has provided innumerable opportunities for questioning, interaction, conversation, and sharing of ideas with the lecturers and other participants.

As the co-founder of Toby's Estate Coffee in Australia, I have found the program to be extremely beneficial in strengthening my business skills, while providing great insights into the idiosyncrasies of arts and entertainment.

I have found it empowering to hear people communicate a strong, optimistic vision for the arts and cultural industries in Australia. My experiences in the program have inspired me to renew the vision for my own life."
