Who We Are
Prima Nota Inc. is a not-for-profit organisation based in South Australia, created by and for Russian-speaking migrants — with a spirit of openness to all.
We are a community of artists, musicians, volunteers, and cultural workers who believe that creativity is not a luxury — it’s a lifeline. Especially for those finding their place in a new country.
Through choirs, festivals, game nights, and workshops, we create spaces where migrants can build confidence, preserve heritage, share laughter, and feel deeply at home — while inviting others in.
