Graeme Wall

Director

Graeme found success early in his operatic career, winning the prestigious Sydney Sun Aria and later an Arts Council Scholarship which enabled him to spend four years studying and working in London. After returning to Australia, Graeme sang regularly with the ABC and was appointed principal tenor of Victoria State Opera, a post he enjoyed for ten years. After re-evaluating the demands of his vocation and a growing family, Graeme completed his Bachelor of Education at La Trobe University – complementing his Bachelor of Music from The University of Melbourne – and subsequently spent many rewarding years as Director of Music at Eltham College. He now focuses his energy towards Australian Music Events.
