Ruth Whyte Memorial Bequest

After marrying in England in the 1940s, Ruth Whyte came to Albury as a young woman and quickly joined in the musical life of the region.  While she lived in Melbourne from 1953, the Albury-Wodonga region remained very dear to her.

She was a lover of classical music and during her life generously sponsored various local musical events.

On her death in 1998, she left a bequest to Charles Sturt University and directed that part of her Estate be used for the advancement of music in the Albury-Wodonga region.

Through this generous gift, funds are available annually to community to support musical initiatives.
