Tutti Ensemble is a veritable South Australian icon. Based in the grounds of Minda Home at Brighton this unique arts organisation provides musical and creative outlets for people with intellectual disabilities.
Tutti has won international acclaim for their original musical theatre and opera performances. They also hold visual arts classes for their members and have recently introduced a program whereby members can learn film making skills and express themselves through digital media.
Established back in the late 1990's by playwright and composer Pat Rix, the Tutti group has gone from strength to strength under Pat's passionate guidance and leadership. They cater for people of all ages and even have groups for the real little ones with intellectual disabilities - these kids are just a delight to watch as they light up and express themselves though music and rhythm. Tutti also have an outreach program with the aim being to reach regional areas and included members of those communities in their programs as well.
If you ever get the chance to see a Tutti performance, don't miss them. This is a truly moving experience. read more
