Voices of Casey
Mr MAAS (Narre Warren South) (09:47): I recently had the pleasure of attending Voices of Casey’s performance at Our Lady of Help Christians Parish in Narre Warren. Voices of Casey is a non-audition community choir that provides a place for people to collaborate and join together in their love of music, community and some very sweet vocal harmonies. The choir welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and encourages self-confidence and self-belief, with many choir members who are in their later years of life. The theme of this particular performance was ‘Colours of life’, a varied and beautiful program referring to and drawing inspiration from the spectrum of colours. A creative endeavour, the choir celebrates the joy of music that they know also benefits their mental health and wellbeing. My thanks go to Paulien George, who established the choir and manages it and is a local stalwart and contributor to our community. Her strong work ethic and can-do attitude is appreciated by all of us around her. Voices of Casey, like so many other community groups, kept people together through the pandemic virtually, and it is great to see them back performing live to audiences. I thank the choir for their warm welcome and terrific performance and look forward to seeing them performing again in the future.
