Testimonials

“Where Aboriginal involvement is required, PAN will make every attempt to consult with the relevant community about their inclusion. PAN will ensure that ceremonies are in accordance with the wishes of the Elders and participants of the Aboriginal Community.The most recent performance of “Voyages” 26 January 2005 which I was involved highly accentuated PAN’s desire of cultural inclusion.”

Joy Wandin Murphy – Aboriginal Elder

I am familiar with much of the work that Pan Event Entertainment has undertaken over th past few years and am continually impressed with the level of creativity, integrity and professionalism given to each project.

George Lekakis – Chairperson – Victorian Multicultural Commission

Peter has been an outstanding collaborator, with a depth of knowledge that is hard to rival, in terms of local and national talent that exemplifies this country’s richness in world music, in cultural fusion and in the creation of exciting and uplifting sounds and spectacle. He carries performers, collaborators, committee members, and even those who initially can’t envisage the outcome, by the passion and certainty he embodies for what can be achieved. He’s a very convincing person. But what inspires trust is that he delivers.

He gives a sense of grandeur and integrity to the work he does…”

Mike Zafiropoulos – General Manager - SBS Melbourne

"The “Eye of the Dragon Concert” was the first major event in Melbourne for the Fred Hollows Foundation……….... The Concert has captured the imagination of so many people…………..Pan Event Entertainment has been instrumental in making this event a great success by coordinating such talented artists, music and themes which reflected so appropriately the many regions around the world where the Foundation currently has projects."

Gabbi Hollows – Founding Director - Fred Hollows Foundation

"Pan Event Entertainment and Peter are extremely aware of the sensitivity and diversity of both the indigenous culture of Australia and of those who make up the multicultural county within which we live. Peter endeavours to create performances unlike most others in that he takes on board the depth of existing cultures and builds on what has taken centuries to develop rather than trying to re-create a “new” and different image for the sake of commercialism……shows choreographed by Pan Event Entertainment are so incredibly successful and amazing to watch that PAN will no doubt develop into a niche company ….very few others could deliver an end product with such diverse material."

Carol Cody – Lecturer, Ganai Education, Gippsland
