About Us

Dr Anthony Garcia

Founder & Artistic Director

“A healthy society requires a vibrant, flourishing arts sector. This is only possible if we support one and other and collaborate with an open mind.  The SAO vision is to be a contributor, an advocate, an organisation that supports not only artists but the broader community to engage with innovative creative practices that illuminate the mind and uplift the soul. Through creative partnerships and community engagement we can collectively transform our understanding of the arts, how we engage with and support the arts and artists. Participation equals impact. I encourage people young and old to connect with us, share your story, ask questions, make suggestions, get involved and help us shape our cultural futures together.”

Creating New Musical Pathways

Learning to improvise and build ideas by responding to our surrounds, to our feelings and interactions—through collaborative exploration—is fun, educational and inspires new ways to make music.
