In 2000 he was awarded the two-year Australia Council for the Arts Fellowship for his work within community arts, to travel the world and collaborate with musicians in Africa, South America, Romania and the Solomon Islands. As a professional musician he has performed extensively, toured nationally and internationally, composed and recorded in a diverse array of projects and productions, including experimental to world fusion and contemporary collaborative work with dance, circus and theatre. As a contemporary composer and musical director he has credits in the area of film soundtracks, visual arts collaborations, music theatre, community music and arts projects, public art installation and a number of his own CD recordings.
Peter presently combines his passion for the arts and 'community' by creatively producing and directing events, community arts projects and festivals: Fremantle Street Arts Festival, Denmark Festival of Voice 2008 and 2010 and Brave New Works Festival 2017, 2018 and 2019.
