Artistic Director
Graeme Morton
Graeme Morton is one of this country's most versatile choral musicians. His choral interests vary from traditional liturgical music to contemporary Australian repertoire, choral training and education, and composition. He is Director of Music at St Peters Lutheran College, where he directs the St Peters Chorale, which has commissioned many works that have become recent Australian choral classics. He is Director of Music at Christ Church Anglican Church, St Lucia, where he plays the organ and directs the 35 voice Lucian Singers. He also conducts the Brisbane Chamber Choir.
In 1993 he founded The Australian Voices, along with composer Stephen Leek, and has conducted this distinguished ensemble in festivals and international choral events.
Graeme teaches choral conducting at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music, and finds time to present workshops throughout regional Queensland and beyond. In 1996 he was Visiting Professor of Choral Music at St Olaf College, Minnesota, home of the famed St Olaf Choir.
As a composer Graeme is published by Augsburg Fortress and Morton Music.
In February 2006 he took up a Churchill Fellowship to observe choral leadership in Canada and the United States of America.
