Carl Crossin — conductor, educator, clinician and composer — is well known and respected throughout Australia as a choral conductor. A graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and the University of Adelaide, he also studied choral conducting in the United States and Britain as the recipient of International Study Grants awarded by the Australia Council, the South Australian Government, and the Henry Krips Conducting Scholarship.

He is currently Director of the Elder Conservatorium of Music in Adelaide and also the Director of Choral Music, Head of the Music Studies Program, and Lecturer in Conducting.
