Peter Siepmann's musical education began as a chorister at Bruern Abbey and continued at St Edward's School, Oxford, under Julian McNamara. During his time at the University of Nottingham, he spent several years directing the university's chamber choir, Viva Voce (with one performance being broadcast on BBC Radio 3), the University Chorus, and, under the guidance of Jonathan Tilbrook, the University Sinfonia.
He is currently employed as Director of Music at St Peter's & All Saints', Nottingham - major city centre churches - where he trains and directs the all-age, voluntary robed choir who sing at the weekly services of choral Eucharist and Evensong. He is also responsible for playing the organ for weddings, funerals, civic and other incidental services, as well as overseeing the church's popular series of concerts. He is a Licentiate of the Royal Schools of Music and an Associate of the Royal College of Organists. Alongside his church work, Peter teaches academic music (GCSE & A-level) at Uppingham School. He directs the Voces Raptorum chamber choir, and serves as chorus master to Oakham Choral Society.
