Chamber Strings is an auditioned ensemble which is comprised of secondary school aged students drawn from the two senior campuses of Caulfield Grammar School. They rehearse weekly under the direction of Mr. Jason Leinkauf, Head of Strings.

Kreisler Strings is the intermediate level group of the three string ensembles at Caulfield Grammar School. In this group students continue to develop their individual and ensemble skills through studying and performing a broad range of string repertoire, ranging from Bach and Vivaldi to film scores and recent publications for string ensembles. Members of the group are all high school age students, ranging from Years 8 to 12. All members of Kreisler Strings are expected to undertake private tuition on their selected instrument.

Conductor Jason Leinkauf started music training at a very young age beginning with piano tuition with the late Nehama Patkin who was a prominent Suzuki Piano teacher. At age nine, he commenced violin lessons and at age twelve he was accepted at the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School, Melbourne, Australia to commence further Violin studies under the tutelage of Spiros Rantos, Gerard van de Weide and Mark Moghilevski. Jason achieved his A.mus.a and L.mus.a whilst learning with these inspirational teachers.
