Meet Our Conductor:
Greta Hunter is a Brisbane based conductor and flute specialist. She holds a Bachelor of Music (BMus(hons)) from the University of Queensland, majoring in flute performance, and currently studies Orchestral Conducting with the Cardiff International Academy of Conducting and Mark Shapiro (The Julliard School).
Greta holds the position of conductor with the Indooroopilly Chamber Orchestra (ICO), where she connects players to great orchestral works most often from the 18th – 20th centuries. With ICO, Greta creates valuable opportunities for outstanding young musicians to rehearse and perform concertos and solo works with a full orchestra. She is equally at home with choral music and is currently the musical director of Songshine Choir. Greta also works with school and community youth ensembles as well as being regularly invited to guest conduct other instrumental and vocal ensembles around Brisbane.
Greta is a flute specialist tutor at St Peter’s Lutheran College (Indooroopilly) and Westside Christian College. She is passionate about developing technique and musicianship and incorporates a multidisciplinary approach to her teaching, where she utilises and combines flute pedagogy with vocal pedagogy. Greta incorporates this approach to develop technique and musicianship for flutists and choristers alike and has seen significant positive benefits across both disciplines.
Greta is driven by the underlying philosophy that everyone deserves to experience meaningful music making. Through her work as both a conductor and flute specialist tutor, Greta guides people to explore the possibilities of expression through music and ultimately to engage with music in a deeper and more meaningful way.
We are delighted to welcome Greta to Morningsong.
You will recall the Morningsong focus is on a ca****la, four-part harmonies; songs that everyone can enjoy and learn in one or two sessions, in a relaxed, friendly and supportive environment without pressure.
We are keen to maintain the casual relaxed atmosphere of Morningsong, where people can attend regularly, or not, as suits their lifestyle and other commitments, although we do need to secure adequate numbers each week to keep going; ensuring we can cover our expenses.
If you know someone who has recently retired, or needs to fill their Friday mornings, please make them aware of Morningsong and the benefits singing in a Choir provides. Cost is $20pp per session; refreshments provided. Term fees available. Venue: Wellers Hill Bowls Club 10am to Noon.
