• "Tutti Arts - Tutti Voice Newsletter December 2009"
  Tutti Arts - Tutti Voice Newsletter December 2009 - reads, in part "It is great to be back in South Australia with the Tutti team who made the trip to Minnesota. Northern Lights, Southern Cross was a marvellous experience complete with huge challenges and moments of exhilaration, and it was wonderful working both with Interact and at the ultra-modern and very accessible Guthrie Theater. We were delighted that our South Aussie patron's film The Boys are Back opened around the same time and that both Scott and Tutti won critical acclaim from the Minneapolis press. In fact, Northern Lights, Southern Cross broke all box office records for the Guthrie and attracted a broad mainstream, Native American, and African American audience. Dozens remained behind after every performance for post-show discussions looking at themes of trauma and healing central to the show and by closing night Northern Lights, Southern Cross had truly succeeded in raising awareness about barriers that exclude. We also knew that audiences everywhere are hungry for original work created through the melting pot of radical inclusion."

• "Tutti Ensemble - Holdfast Choir History, Goals, Friends & Supporters 2002"
  Tutti Ensemble Holdfast Choir History, Goals, Friends & Supporters 2002 - reads, in part " The development of the Tutti Ensemble's Holdfast Community Choir seems like magic. It has grown in less than four years from a small group of 11 intellectually disabled people and two support workers at Minda enjoying choral singing as a recreational option, to a diverse group of 60 - 70 singers and musicians. The philosophy of the choir is that there are no barriers to participation, therefore people with physical and intellectual disabilities and members of the community from widely differing age groups and musical experience are accepted and encouraged. Our repertoire has evolved to include gospel, popular and traditional songs as well as old favourites. We also sing songs from other cultures and original songs by contemporary writers"

  Tutti Arts – Tutti Choir Christmas Celebration 2014 'No More Turníng Away' Program- reads, in part "“The Tutti Choir is Australia's first inclusive choir and takes its name from the musical term Tuti', meaning everyone. From its origins in 1997 as a small singing group at Minda, the choir has grown into a vibrant independent multi arts organisation, deeply connected into the disability and mainstream arts worlds of South Australia and beyond. With its strong commitment to access and inclusion, Tutti is both a grass roots nurturer of disabled artists and a creator and presenter of high quality work which brings disabled artists, and community and professional artists together for performances and exhibitions.”
