Pushing the idea that creativity is the strategic tool of the 21st century, she says how our voices have been silenced and that it's not doing us any good. She explains how Singing is a survival mechanism, how it makes our hearts beat together and can help heal strokes and depression. With Singing, and the potential she believes it has, Tania dedicates herself to enhancing and promoting ingenuity and founded Creativity Australia and Creative Universe to do so. As a leading Australian soprano and through 'With One Voice', Tania works with disadvantaged communities. In 2008 she was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia for services to the arts and for the establishment and development of arts enrichment programs for schools and communities.

For centuries, song has plaYed a key role in community, culture and story-telling worldwide. Yet how many people dare to Sing freely these days... apart from in the shower? Community Singing empowers voices that have been silenced, unleashes creative potential... and that's just the start. Please like, share and comment on our videos to celebrate the joy of song! WHAT WE DO Every week, Creativity Australia's With One Voice choirs inspire people from more than 40 nationalities, aged 9 to 90, to Sing side-by-side. Age, race, language, religion, disability and disadvantage fade away. Everyone is welcome. WHY WE DO IT For some, choir is a way to de-stress after work. For others, it's a first glimpse into Australian life after arriving here as a migrant, asylum seeker or refugee. For others, it's an opportunity to connect to networks, skills and employment. It's all about joy, freedom and inspiration. When diverse voices Sing together, peopl...    less
