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 Omega Ensmeble (CoLAB Program) 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 and 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, documentary and Kid Series She has just released her first album of modern classical music 'Heart Songs' with the Australian record label Amica Records
