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.

It's All about joy, freedom and inspiration. When diverse Voices Sing togeTher, peopl...    less

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.

World Premiere - June 4, 2015 Lord of Life LuTheran Church Fairfax, Virginia - - - SydneyGuillaume.com - - - French text by Gabriel T. Guillaume: Musique Fidèle compagnon, expression de nos âmes, Musique, nous t’aimons, rAllume notre flamme… Tu es la vie, tu es lumière; Tu es la flamme qui éclaire. Du lever du soleil jusqu’aux ombres du soir, Dans nos moments d’angoisse, au sein de nos déboires, À toute heure, en tous lieux, En toutes circonstances tu brilles sous nos Yeux. Musique de nos joies! Musique de nos pleurs! Que serions-nous sans toi? Tu es notre Bonheur. Par ta douce clarté ranime notre monde; Remplis-nous à jamais d’une bonté profonde. Que les hommes, tous en chœur, chantent tes mélodies, Pour que notre univers devienne symphonie. Musique, nous t’aimons, ranime notre monde. - - - English Poetic Translation: Music Loyal companion, expression of o...    less
