This partnership ensures that local community choirs have access to top-tier musical equipment to guide their rehearsals and performances. It’s a strong message from CASIO that their instruments are a product that can be used by professional musicians and community groups alike. The partnership with national choir charity Creativity Australia marks a landmark commitment from CASIO get more Australians singing together!
Casio gives back to grassroots community choirs
For CASIO, the partnership represents a meaningful way to give back to the grassroots music community in Australia, proving that their instruments make music possible and accessible for everyone.
The CASIO keyboards provided have been tailored to each choir’s needs – including battery operated options for on-the-go community festival performances, weighted keys for more advanced players, and lightweight options for transporting to gigs.
Choirs: a powerful community building tool
The With One Voice program builds healthier, happier, and more inclusive communities by bringing together people from all walks of life to experience the benefits of singing together. By putting CASIO keyboards into the hands of choir conductors, this partnership directly enhances the musical experience for hundreds of participants weekly.
“Choirs are a proven tool for social health and connection.” Says Enya Cai, General Manager of Creativity Australia. “Across Australia, community choirs are led by talented musicians who are often using old, heavy, or outdated instruments to facilitate weekly musical joy for hundreds of their community members.”
“CASIO’s incredible generosity will make a huge difference to the weekly experience for our inclusive choirs – where the sound of a keyboard helps fill the room with sound, making it easier and more enjoyable for everyone to sing along.”
“With these new CASIO keyboards, our groups can focus on what they do best: creating music that connects people, and creating choir communities where people belong.”
