You also know how to make people rally behind it, obviously from the responses. Youve got a design here thats not too flashy, but makes a statement as big as what youre saying.

Without a creative and artistic education, that includes participation for every child no matter what their background, we really are lost! Not only will there be no opera companies, but we will also be in poor shape to think about and solve the community and global issues we currently face. A creative education teaches children how to think and ask questions. What coule be more important?Tania de Jonghttp://www.taniadejong.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8582938263430098739.post-30414638143255529582009-12-08T22:44:43.678-08:002009-12-08T22:44:43.678-08:00Ghillian Sullivan: Artistic Dir.

They have no possibility of making an infornmed choice about participating in, or attending, live performancesin the future until we give it to them with their morning cereal. We are doing our bit up here in NSW & Hunter Region with local schools and city performances. We support Make Music Mandatory. and as for Indigenous artists--bring on the trained Indigenous singers. i have a gig for 3 of them right now....<br />Remember: NEVER APOLOGISE FOR GREAT MUSIC AND DONT LET IGNORANCE BULLY YOU INTO DOING SO--JUST DO IT!ghillysullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856510022743421475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8582938263430098739.post-11564002881106379392009-12-02T03:23:11.256-08:002009-12-02T03:23:11.256-08:00Hi Richard

You may be interested to know that the Royal Society of Victoria has put in an Ozco grant submission to support the commissioning of a chamber opera based on the story of Burke and Wills. If we are successful and the Opera gets written, it will include indigenous content/singers. That should please Lyndon Terracini as well (heard him on the subject on the radio).
