Peter Litman originally trained as an organist at Canterbury. Expanding on his organ performance skills he then studied Choral direction under Colin Durrant; Bob Chilcott and Therees Hibbard. His début as a choral conductor was in 1997 when he conducted Britten’s St Nicholas in St John’s Smith Square, London.
Formerly (2005-2007) Peter was Conducting Pedagogue at Roehampton University for the MA Choral Education Course. However, more recently, Peter continues to be visiting lecturer in Music Education and Voice Management at both Christ Church University, Canterbury and the University of Kent at Canterbury.
He is currently reading for PhD with Dr Colin Durrant in Choral Education and has published papers on Choral Conducting and the dynamic interaction between choir and conductor. Since 2006 Peter has been a guest conductor of the Kent Youth Choirs and each year conducts the three day residential Junior Singers Coarse at Benenden School in Kent.
Peter is currently a private student of Orchestral Conducting with Maestro John Georgiardis, exploring the Celebidache/Georgiardis approach. Peter, with the Oratory Singers, has recently released the first complete recording of Maunder's Olivet to Calvary with Clovelly Recordings, it is now available in all major music stores.
Peter works with choirs of all sizes, abilities and ages, and he is particularly keen on working with younger singers developing their musical and choral education through performance.
