Caroline Meta Buring (1875 – 7 November 1955) was a South Australian contralto and singing teacher.
Following complimentary references by Amy Sherwin, a group of Adelaide music-lovers subscribed to a fund to send her to Europe for further musical education.
[4] She left in 1900, first for Frankfurt, where she spent a year under Julius Stockhausen at his music school, studying German, French, Italian, and English diction, sight-reading and choral work, and also receiving private tuition.
She gained valuable experience in teaching by taking pupils in Liverpool and Manchester, where she also appeared in several of Hans Richter's Hallé concerts, and at the Free Trade Hall with Melbourne soprano Mary Conley.
It is likely she shared a residence on Flinders Street, Kent Town with her sister Edelgarde Adele Buring (1878 – 16 November 1948), about whom little has been found since 1924.
