Rose Grausman
Born and raised in Russia, Rose trained at the Moscow Musical College and the Gnesinski Musical Institute. She worked at a Moscow school for musically talented children and at the Kabalevsky Laboratory before migrating to Australia in 1989. Since her arrival in Sydney, Rose has taught piano and musicianship in schools and privately. She worked as a choral conductor with the Sydney Children’s Choir and Singers 2000 and became the musical director of the Sydney Jewish Choral Society in 1989. Her leadership, guidance and mentorship has seen the Society successfully meet the challenges of a rigorous performance schedule.
Formed 33 years ago, the Sydney Jewish Choral Society has established itself on Sydney’s cultural scene. Its members come from a wide range of professions, countries and musical backgrounds. Its repertoire has been wide ranging too, taking in classical, opera, jazz and musicals, popular and folk music in many languages. But within the variety there is a common note: the love of the choristers for singing and performing. Using music as a bridge between the Jewish and wider communities, the Society aims wherever possible to support worthy causes, and to promote harmony and tolerance.
