Peter Siepmann's musical education began as a chorister at Bruern Abbey and continued at St Edward's School, Oxford, under the tutelage of 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, where he trains and directs the church choir which sings every Sunday at St Peter's and frequently makes visits to churches and cathedrals in the UK and abroad. 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. Alongside his church work, and various other freelance activities including regular appearances as guest conductor of the Nottingham Bach Choir, he teaches academic music (GCSE & A-level) at Uppingham School, and is a visiting teacher of organ at Repton School.
Peter is a Licentiate of the Royal Schools of Music, an Associate of the Royal College of Organists, and has a PhD from the University of Nottingham. He is married to Adele, and lives in West Bridgford, Nottingham.
