Brisbane Chamber Choir

Graeme Morton is one of Australia's more eclectic choral musicians, working with young singers at St Peters Lutheran College and the Young Conservatorium, Griffith University, with talented tertiary aged singers in his role as Artistic Director and Conductor for the 2003 season of the National Youth Choir of Australia (NYCA), and with community musicians in the Brisbane Concert Choir at St Andrews, and Brisbane Chamber Choir.

A former Sub-Organist at St John's Anglican Cathedral, where Brisbane Chamber Choir also serves as the Cathedral Chamber Choir, Graeme's passion for liturgical music is currently reflected in his work at Christ Church Anglican Church, St Lucia, where he is Director of Music and Conductor of the thirty-five voice parish choir, the Lucian Singers.

He has toured overseas extensively, and performed in venues such as Harvard Memorial Chapel, Stanford Memorial Chapel, and the Rock Church, Helsinki. Such tours have included the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Japan, Canada, the United States of America, and New Zealand. His choirs have represented Australia in such conferences as the International Society for Music Education (ISME) and the World Symposium on Choral Music (Sydney).

Graeme is also committed to Australian composition, and has been a champion of Australian composers particularly in his work with the St Peters Chorale, and in his former work as Founding Conductor of The Australian Voices. His choirs have commissioned many of the works that have become recent Australian choral classics, from composers such as Stephen Leek, Sarah Hopkins, Matthew Orlovich, Paul Stanhope, Vincent Plush and Iain Grandage. A choral composer himself, Graeme is published by Augsburg, Walton, and Morton Music.

He is in demand for workshops and community rehearsals, having directed the choral programme of Education Queensland's MOST (Musically Outstanding Students) Programme for the past three occasions, the Royal School of Church Music's Secondary School's choral festivals since their inception, as well as Directing the RSCM National Summer School held here in Brisbane in 2002.
