Creative Fusions

An inspiring music workshop program fusing diverse musical and cultural styles.

Creative Fusions is an inspiring three day music-making program for participants aged 10 to 100 years that fuses diverse musical and cultural styles. Creative Fusions is for musicians of all levels of experience to share a passion for music, develop new skills, and perform alongside professional role models.

Led by Dr Anthony Garcia and organisation Sounds Across Oceans, and featuring a team of experienced Queensland teaching artists, Creative Fusions is an intercultural workshop process that is designed to foster an ethos of self-expression and experimentation. No matter what your instrument—from Chinese zither or African Djembe, to jazz guitar, classical violin, or didgeridoo—you will be able to immerse yourself in three days of music-making heaven where you will learn how to jam in groups, create new sounds and songs, and learn about other cultures and styles.

Creative Fusions provides a safe, supervised environment for young musicians to create together, while also inviting older community musicians to also be part of the music-making process. Come on your own or come with a relative or friend. It’s intercultural and intergenerational!

The program will culminate in a performance on the Friday night, showcasing original compositions and fresh arrangements developed throughout the learning journey, and giving participants the opportunity to perform for family and friends.
