Casey

Casey Arts

Across the City of Casey, creative life takes shape in rehearsal rooms, community halls, teaching studios, galleries, workshops and shared stages. You can sing in a mixed-voice choir, learn an instrument, try painting or mosaics, join a photography club, make with timber, or develop dance, acting and musical-theatre skills. Bunjil Place and The Factory add places to see performances, exhibitions and film, while local teachers, clubs and arts services make it possible to keep creating close to home.

Here is a varied selection for audiences, artists, makers, learners and community participants across Casey and nearby south-east Melbourne.

🎶 Music & Singing

Cranbourne Chorale

This mixed-voice community choir sings classic choral works, folk and international music, as well as contemporary repertoire. New singers are welcome without an audition, making it possible to join through shared singing rather than previous formal experience. The chorale is also available for performances at local venues and functions.
