REVIEWS
“Murphy’s Spinning Top proved to be all charm and brilliance as she showed a keen ear for engaging sonorities.” - Rodney Smith, Adelaide Advertiser, 14 November 2016 “Murphy’s Stolen—a 2014 work full of exhilarating tension - was a real highpoint in an evening of
highpoints”. Allan Sherrod - Arts Knoxville, 20 June 2016
“Nicole Murphy’s Temple Bell was an exquisite place to start; voices integrated seamlessly into the
musical texture, with words coming after, all building to delicate denouement”. Sydney Morning
Sydney Morning Herald, 21 November 2011
“Timothy Harbour’s Eve with music by Nicole Murphy shows how strong and sensitive that partnership
between choreographer and composer can be”.

Our Major Sponsor
Quota International of Beenleigh Inc. wish to thank all our very generous sponsors, supporters and volunteers who help make our Eisteddfod a success.

This is why Quota Beenleigh runs this Eisteddfod
Dance, music, drama and theatre offer an outlet for creative expression and the chance to
learn a host of skills in the process.
Albert & Logan News Thursday January 28, 2016 “Arts Education Chair – Professor Judith McLean said research by John Hopkins University in the US had shown the benefits of the performing arts for children.
“Students undertaking regular music training were found to have changes in their brain structures helping them to transfer highly advanced motor skills to other areas of their life.” She said
“This research also found children who were attracted to a specific art form and practised, increased the efficiency of their attention as a whole. They became able to be better focused and stick to tasks across maths, english, all the key subject areas. In fact, it improved their IQ skills.”
“There’s a huge body of evidence which says that children who are inducted into the arts have a better understanding of themselves and the world in which they live.”
Volunteering We would appreciate your help and would especially encourage our performers and other young people to assist where possible. It is fun to volunteer and great for your resume! We have 3 Shifts per day of approximately 4 hours, training is given. If you are able to assist in any capacity please contact us by email at [email protected] or phone 07 3804 0488 or 07 3382 7604.
