POMEGRANATE ARTS
MELBOURNE FESTIVAL
For the past 20 years, Pomegranate Arts has
worked in close collaboration with a small group
of contemporary artists and arts institutions to
bring bold and ambitious artistic ideas to fruition.
Founder and Director Linda Brumbach, along
with managing director Alisa E. Regas produced
the Olivier Award-winning revival of Einstein on
the Beach, the multi-award winning production of
Taylor Mac’s 24-Decade History of Popular Music
and the Drama Desk Award winning production
of Charlie Victor Romeo. Since its inception,
Pomegranate Arts has produced over 30 major
new performing arts productions and tours for
Philip Glass, Laurie Anderson, Lucinda Childs,
Dan Zanes, London’s Improbable, Sankai Juku,
Batsheva and Bassem Youssef and collaborated on
new productions with the Kronos Quartet, Leonard
Cohen, Robert Wilson and Frank Gehry. We hope
to continue to build our community of institutions
and individuals that are inspired by the artists in
our lives that help bring beauty and truth into the
world, ask important questions, and take bold risk.
Provoking and inspiring, Melbourne Festival seeks to
connect art forms, people and ideas. At the heart of
Melbourne’s culture of creativity, we curate unique
experiences that bring people together and break
new ground in culture and the arts.
Melbourne Festival is one of Australia’s leading
international arts festivals and has an outstanding
reputation for presenting unique international and
Australian events in the fields of dance, theatre,
music, visual arts, multimedia, free and outdoor
events over three weeks each October.
