The award was presented to the legendary Maestro by His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley, Governor-General of Australia, at the Sydney Opera House following the Australian World Orchestra concert.

Led by Zubin Mehta, this joyous concert reminds us how important it is to celebrate our world-class artists abroad, and to welcome them with open arms when they return.

Fresh from performing at the Edinburgh Festival and BBC Proms, the Australian World Orchestra has arrived in Australia. Lily Bryant attends rehearsals and talks with some of the musicians.
