Run by parents. Powered by volunteers. Built for our children.

The Melbourne String Ensemble is run by a dedicated group of volunteers who give their time, skills and energy to keep MSE thriving. As a parent-led, not-for-profit organisation, MSE relies on our committee to guide everything from strategic planning and communications to the day-to-day running of rehearsals, concerts and tours. Led by President Krystel Skilton, the committee works closely with our Artistic Director - Fintan Murphy, music directors and families to ensure every young musician has the opportunity to grow, perform and belong.

The Melbourne String Ensemble Executive consists of:

President: Krystel Skilton
Vice President: Karyn Calder
Secretary: Jarrod Hepburn

Administrator: Zimo Zhu
