The Collection

Dennis Arbon was a trustee of Hall for Cornwall. He was initially appointed to the venue's board in the late 1990’s and served for four years as Chair, helping in the process to secure the future of the theatre during a period of financial difficulty. Dennis was awarded an MBE for his outstanding services and philanthropic contributions to the arts and the community in Cornwall in 2013. This collection item is the cover of the programme that was produced for the Cornish Youth Makes Music tribute to Dennis' philanthropy at Hall for Cornwall in March 2014, 6 months after his death in September 2013. The tribute featured performances by the Cornwall Boys Choir, Cambiata Cornwall and Cornwall Youth Brass Brand which were conducted by Angela Renshaw, Aaron Harvey and Alan Pope.
