St Peters Chorale, from St Peters Lutheran College (Indooroopilly), is a mixed voice choir of students in Years 9 - 12. Founded by Graeme Morton in 1983, the choir has developed a national and international reputation as an outstanding youth choir and is well known for its championing of Australian choral composers. The Chorale regularly commissions works from eminent Australian composers, many of which have become choral ‘classics’ performed by leading choirs throughout the world. In addition to its focus on Australian repertoire, the Chorale also performs major works from the great European tradition of choral music such as Mendelssohn’s Elijah, Mozart’s Requiem, Britten’s Rejoice in the Lamb and John Rutter’s Gloria.

St Peters Chorale has an extensive history of both domestic and international touring. The choir has been privileged to be invited to perform in many special venues, including Cathedrals of St Pauls, Ely, Bristol, Canterbury, Wells, Newport and Winchester, Bath Abbey, St Clements Dane (UK), Salzburg Dom (Austria), Temppeliaukio Church (Denmark). Other destinations have included the USA, Canada, Singapore, Finland, Russia, Sweden, Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, Hungary and Poland.
