About Ania 
Ania is currently in Year 8. She was captivated by the beauty of cello with a book called “1000 cellos” by Hideko Ise when she was six. She quicky fell in love with the deep and resonant tones the cello produced. She has achieved Grade 8 level in cello. Her passion led her to join school’s strings and Sinfonia of Adelaide Youth Orchestra. Her performance includes school cabarets and musicals, ABODA and regular performance in Sinfonia. There, she discovered the joy of playing with others, each contributing to a harmonious whole. In these groups, she not only refined her skills but also nurtured a deeper connection to her instrument and to the music itself. Her love for the cello grows with every practice and performance. She believes that music has the power to bring joy and comfort to people. She would like to use her music to spread happiness and let the cello’s voice resonate in the hearts of those who hear it.
