Yvonne Kenny, the Chairman of the Australian Music Foundation UK said:

"We are all deeply saddened by the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, who has been a shining light in all our lives, and an exemplar of selfless service, devotion and commitment to the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. We send our heartfelt condolences to His Majesty King Charles, The Queen Consort and to all members of The Royal Family"

Lord Alec Broers, the President of the Australian Music Foundation said:

"Her Majesty the Queen as Head of the Commonwealth has for seven decades steadfastly supported cultural exchanges between the United Kingdom and the members of the Commonwealth and especially with Australia which she has visited sixteen times. Many young Australian musicians have participated in these exchanges, many of them enabled by the Australian Music Foundation. Her son King Charles, as The Prince of Wales, has provided vital support to the Foundation as its Patron-in-Chief."
