Camerata has partnered with Chinchilla-based charity, Drought Angels, to deliver the last three annual regional tours. Tash and Nicki, co-founded Drought Angels in 2014, and have volunteered their time to support drought affected communities with food, services, and financial support (http://droughtangels.org.au/).

Last week Camerata noticed on Drought Angels’ Facebook page a post about farming families who have hit rock bottom, now in their sixth year of consecutive drought. The recent wet weather experienced through western Queensland delivers much needed relief, however a huge amount of ongoing support is required for these communities as the effects of the lengthy drought continues to be felt by farmers and local businesses.

After putting the call out around town, performing arts companies were quick to respond without question. The industry has donated tickets to create an awesome prize pack valued over $2,800. The Golden Ticket is up for grabs and includes:

• • • • Camerata: two x four performance subscriptions
      • Opera Q: two premium tickets to Merry Widow and two premium tickets to Don Giovanni
      • Queensland Symphony Orchestra: two x three performance subscriptions
      • Queensland Performing Arts Centre: two tickets to American Idiot
      • Queensland Ballet: two opening night tickets to Cinderella
      • Queensland Theatre: two opening night tickets to Twelfth Night

      • La Boite Theatre: two VIP opening night tickets to The Mathematics of Longing
      • Brisbane Powerhouse: two opening night tickets to Coupling (MELT Festival) featuring Camerata
      • Tickets for The Golden Ticket  are on sale now and will be drawn at the event Sunday 18 March. All proceeds will go to Drought Angels, who will use the money to send pre-paid visas to farmers who need it most.
