Founding Patrons
Pamela, Lady Vestey
Granddaughter to Dame Nellie Melba
“As Patron of the Melba Conservatorium since 1995, and as a Founding Patron of the Dame Nellie Melba Opera Trust, I am gratified that Melba Council has seen fit to preserve for the future the legacy and special vision for the Melba that was so close to my grandmother’s heart.”
Mary-Jane Joscelyne
“It is a great thrill for me to be a Founding Patron of the Dame Nellie Melba Opera Trust, and an honour that I share with my family, friends and supporters of the Amelia Joscelyne Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship has kept alive Amelia’s memory and the joy of singing in the hearts and lives of so many Melba students over the last eighteen years, and we are all delighted that it will continue to be a centre piece of the Melba’s new future.”
