ENSEMBLES 2025

Caulfield Grammar School - Choir

The Caulfield Grammar School Choral and Voice Program has experienced steady growth in recent years, expanding in both diversity and depth across the Primary, Middle, and Senior School levels. With twelve skilled choral directors and over 430 students actively involved, the program offers a broad array of opportunities ranging from non-auditioned choirs that provide all students with the chance to explore singing, to auditioned chamber vocal groups for those seeking a more focused and challenging choral experience. Supported by a team of eleven dedicated singing teachers, the program fosters strong participation in both contemporary and classical voice training, with many students also engaging in the School's dynamic musical theatre programs. Our Touring Choir, an auditioned ensemble made up of singers from the Middle and Senior Schools at both the Wheelers Hill and Caulfield campuses, are incredibly excited to be embarking on a European tour. Alongside the music we have prepared, the choir is also eager to share our story and showcase a diverse range of repertoire from both Australian composers and other international artists. This journey represents a valuable opportunity for our students to deepen their skills and experiences, all while staying true to the core vision, purpose, and values of Caulfield Grammar School. We look forward to the growth and connections this tour will bring, both musically and personally. Our Touring Choir is Directed by Naomi Osborne (Head of Voice), and accompanied by Meredith Woinarski (Head of Keyboard) and Simon Walter (Caulfield Campus Head of Music).
