The late Tony Gill was a wonderful supporter of the ACO during his lifetime and we are enormously honoured and grateful that he also chose to leave the ACO a gift in his will.
Tony was born in Montreal, Canada and moved to Australia in 1978, becoming one of Australia’s leading mortgage securitisation experts through a long and very successful career at Macquarie Bank. After retiring from Macquarie Bank, Tony served on a number of boards and industry panels and was actively involved in a number of not-for-profit organisations including the Butterfly Foundation, Pinchgut Opera and the ACO.
Introduced to the ACO through friends more than two decades ago, Tony quickly became a passionate supporter and was particularly generous in supporting the ACO's Capital Campaign, helping us to realise our dream of moving to our new permanent home at Pier 2/3. He loved the arts and classical music, sharing that passion generously with friends, colleagues and family alike. Tony delighted in experiencing concerts with others and encouraging wider involvement. A committed ACO subscriber for many years, his connection to the Orchestra was both longstanding and heartfelt.
“Tony Gill was a generous supporter, not only financially, but with his time and advice. We’re so grateful to have also benefitted from his involvement in a number of ACO committees over the years.”ACO Head of Major Gifts & Bequests, Lillian Armitage
Vale, Tony Gill and thank you.
