This project was initially funded by Multicultural SA. In 2014 the school initiated An Oriental Flair, an 8 piece ensemble of eastern harps and western strings; as well as Moonta Street in 2016 - a new group presenting a contemporary world music sound blending Chinese and European traditional music.
In 2019, Zhao Liang on guzheng, Satomi Ohnishi on percussion and David Dai on erhu has also founded San Ureshi - a unique oriental trio which presents school workshops, multicultural storytimes, as well as artistic performances in Ozasia festival and Art Gallery SA, responding to artwork No God but God.
