Peter Siepmann is a conductor, organist, teacher and examiner based in the East Midlands of the UK. He is well-known in the region for his encouraging, enthusiastic and informed approach to rehearsal and performance. 

He was educated at St Edward’s School in Oxford and the University of Nottingham, where he was awarded a doctorate in 2010.  As a conductor, Peter has directed many of the major works of the choral repertoire with choirs and orchestras of all sizes, both amateur and professional, on the concert stage and in a liturgical setting. His time directing the University of Nottingham Chamber Choir involved collaborations with the Orlando Consort, the London Sinfonietta and broadcasts on BBC Radio 3. Peter became conductor of Nottingham Bach Choir in September 2019, following Paul Hale's twenty-nine year tenure. 

As an accompanist and continuo player (a particular passion), Peter has performed with many of the UK's leading soloists, with recent highlights including the Bach Passions with evangelists Ruairi Bowen (2018) and Rogers Covey-Crump (2019), and all six of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos (2012). 

Since September 2007, Peter has been Organist & Director of Music at St Peter’s Church in the heart of the city of Nottingham, where the church choir produces what the Nottingham Post has described "an outstanding standard of music-making"; the choir's singing is also regularly praised at regular visits to cathedrals and abbeys both around the UK and abroad.  In 2010, Peter oversaw the design, fundraising and installation of a new church organ. 

Alongside his work as a conductor and organist, Peter is an Examiner for ABRSM and an experienced teacher; he taught for several years in the renowned department at Uppingham School before moving to Repton School where he is currently Head of Academic Music. As a writer, he regularly provides liner notes for Naxos Records and has also written extensively for the Southwell Music Festival.

Peter is a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists, and a number of his organ pupils have gone on to cathedral and university scholarships.  He lives in the Nottinghamshire village of Ruddington with his wife Adele and young son Alexander.
