Creative programs that transform lives
Our Team
General Manager: Enya Cai
Enya is honoured to be leading the team at Creativity Australia, and feels strongly that With One Voice choirs are a life-changing way of bringing diverse communities together for a greater good.
Starting her journey with Creativity Australia in 2008 as a volunteer, Enya has since had a multifaceted career spanning public policy, workplace inclusion, business consulting, and the arts.

National Choir Program Manager: Chris Blain
Chris is passionate about building sustainable, harmonious communities through music.
Beginning his musical journey in boys choir, Chris forged a path into contemporary a cappella singing with his man-band Suade. Whilst performing, recording, producing, and touring for sixteen years, Chris set about building Vocal Australia – a national hub for contemporary a cappella singing that creates festivals, competitions, and resources for a cappella singers.
His work in remote indigenous communities as Operations Manager of MusoMagic helped him understand the profound benefits music can have on society, and led him to found Melbourne Singing Events, running weekend singing get-a-ways and singing workshops.
He is the musical director of Men In Suits – a musical men’s shed / comedy choir, he conducts With One Voice Whitehorse, and works as a wedding celebrant and DJ on the weekends. If there’s ever any spare time, and his two young daughters are asleep, you’ll find him in his studio making funny noises.
National Community Music Coordinator: Sally Rehfisch
Sally has been involved with music almost her whole life, starting piano lessons at the age of four. Since then she has gone on to study music at a high level, completing a Bachelor of Music and a Graduate Certificate in Arts & Cultural Management.
Sally’s passion is providing people with inclusive opportunities to participate in the arts. She is a firm believer that everyone can make music. She is thrilled to be able to express this passion through her work with Creativity Australia, as well as a number of other organisations such as Community Music Victoria and Melbourne Singing Events.
Choir Program Support Officer: George Williams
George Williams brings a wealth of experience in arts administration, project management, and community engagement, to her work as Choir Program Support Officer for With One Voice & Creativity Australia. With a bachelor’s degree in music performance (improvisation) and current studies in the Master of Creative Arts Therapy at the University of Melbourne, George is deeply passionate about the positive impacts of community singing.
George also has a proven track record in fostering inclusive arts practices and her career is highlighted by significant achievements in community-building through community music projects. Her roles have included facilitating songwriting workshops with Wild at Heart Community Arts, running arts-based consultation to inform the design of the Ballarat Survivor’s Memorial, and managing projects such as documenting Ballarat’s music history, a UNESCO world heritage project for Ballarat City Council. She is a choir leader, music educator, and in 2020 she founded the Virtual Soul Choir to combat social isolation with her partner Geoffrey Williams during the pandemic.
George is excited to be joining the team at WOV HQ to support the transformative work of With One Voice choirs across Australia.
