About

Cassie To’s music is about producing emotional connections. Her sound is refined but textured, with each composition carefully crafted to appeal to the rawest elements of humanity – emotion, memory and feeling. That way her songs are neither esoteric nor inaccessible instead they engage with a wide audience, whether pop orientated or academic and classically trained.

Her education at Sydney’s Conservatorium of Music (Bachelor of Music, Honours in Composition) combined with her musical influences has given her the passion and expertise to compose across different styles and genres. Her recent work blends classical technique with contemporary composition, blending symphonic phrases with experimental and environmental soundscapes. She has composed for a variety of ensembles including Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Adelaide Wind Orchestra, West Australian Symphony Orchestra, Ensemble Offspring and Melbourne Youth Orchestra. She has also had works performed internationally in the USA and Europe. Most recently she was commissioned by Crouch End Festival Chorus (London) to compose ‘Songs of the Reef’ - a piece for Orchestra, Chorus, Children’s choir and pre-recorded Reef sounds

Cassie To’s adaptability and creativity has seen her write scores for film, advertisements television series and documentaries. Her portfolio includes work for ABC, SBS, Netflix, Amazon Prime and Stan.

Cassie is a devoted environmentalist and her passion for conservation and telling stories through nature is rippled through her work. Her work has been nominated for awards such as the APRA Screen Music Awards for Best music in a short film (2022) and was awarded ‘Gold Award’ winner at the Mindfield Film Festival (2019) for Best Original Score for her work on the Feature Film ‘Benefited’.
