Musical Director

Ipswich Orpheus Chorale

Sally Linneman-Grennan (BMus, ATCL, LTCL)

As the daughter of a pianist and teacher, Sally remembers being surrounded by music as a child.  After moving to Brisbane to pursue tertiary music studies at the Queensland Conservatorium, she was privileged to learn from Dr Max Olding, and she has many treasured memories from these years.

Sally was a Music Teacher at Ipswich Girls Grammar School for many years, more recently at St Peters Lutheran College Springfield.  Alongside her school duties, Sally has a long association with Ipswich Orpheus Chorale, initially as an accompanist for Young Orpheus Singers.  Since accepting the position of Principal Accompanist approximately 20 years ago, Sally has had the opportunity to work with all six of the Chorale’s previous Musical Directors.  Sally has accompanied many of the Chorale’s leading soloists and is particularly honoured to have won the Lieder Competition several times with the Chorale’s Founding Conductor, George Hogg OAM.

Sally took on the significant challenge of Musical Lead for the Chorale in early 2024 Sally's vibrant personality has brought a new, refreshing focus to the Chorale with a diversity of music genres and styles.  The Chorale looks forward to a long association with Sally as Musical Director.
