Tribute The concert in Sydney on Saturday 8 October celebrates Ken Tribe’s contribution to Musica Viva Australia. KENNETH W TRIBE AC (1914–2010) Through the 1970s and 1980s Ken’s influence in Australian cultural life was far-reaching. He served on boards and committees for organisations including the Australia Council for the Arts, Canberra School of Music, Sydney College of the Arts, the NSW Arts Advisory Council, the Australian Opera and the Australian Broadcasting Commission, as it was then known. | 18 | Kenneth Wilberforce Tribe was born in Sydney in 1914, the second of three children born to Cecil and Elizabeth Tribe. Having attended St Andrew’s Cathedral Choir School, Ken won scholarships to Sydney Church of England Grammar School (Shore), then to the University of Sydney to study Law, graduating in 1937 (music not being regarded as a viable occupation during that time of the Great Depression). Despite family responsibilities and an extremely demanding professional life, Ken soon began a pattern of engaging in activities outside of his profession; the most significant and long-standing of these associations was with Musica Viva Australia. In 1949 Ken joined Musica Viva Australia as Chairman of the executive and in 1966 took on the role of Artistic Director, which amalgamated with that of President in 1973. It was Ken’s initiative that created Musica Viva Australia’s National Board in 1980–81. With apparently endless energy Ken also worked on the boards of a number of trusts, funds and in different capacities with a large number of arts bodies. Much of Ken’s value to the community over the years was ‘behind the scenes’ support, always pro bono. Ken retired from the Presidency of Musica Viva Australia in 1986 and was Patron until his death in July 2010. He maintained a visionary commitment to commissioning new music from Australian composers and his support has enabled new works by luminary composers including the late Richard Meale, the late Peter Sculthorpe, Ross Edwards, Carl Vine and Nigel Westlake. This commitment will continue to be honoured by Musica Viva Australia through the Ken Tribe Commemorative Fund for Australian Composers. It would be impossible to overstate Ken’s impact on the arts in Australia and on music especially. Our lives have been enriched because of his unique capacity to combine plain hard work with a vision of what things might be. As part of Musica Viva Australia for more than 60 years, Ken’s influence was enormous. © GWEN BENNETT AND MUSICA VIVA AUSTRALIA
