Queensland Youth Orchestras (QYO) has announced three new appointments to its board.
Shaun Kenny has been appointed as QYO Board President, and he will be joined by new appointees Steve Sleswick and Belita Fletcher.
Mr Kenny is also Chairman of the Opera Australia Capital Fund Board and has had a long career with Bechtel Corporation, a leading engineering, procurement, construction and project management firm.
Mr Sleswick is a property and arts entrepreneur who was integral to the “dynamic revival of two of Brisbane’s most beloved inner-city music venues” – the Tivoli and the Princess Theatre.
