Peter Adams is an Associate Professor in the Music Department of Otago University and a well-known conductor, composer and clarinettist. In his twenty five years on the staff at Otago, Peter has built up a fine reputation as a musical leader in the local community, as a composer, and as a conductor and musical director working all around New Zealand.

Peter was the Musical Director of the City of Dunedin Choir for ten years from 1987 to 1996 conducting nearly fifty concerts of the major choir and orchestra repertoire. He has conducted the Southern Sinfonia on many occasions and has a long-standing relationship conducting the Dunedin Youth Orchestra and the St Kilda Brass. He has guest conducted all around New Zealand and Australia with orchestras, brass bands and choirs.

Peter has conducted Dunedin’s A grade brass band St Kilda Brass on many occasions in contests and concerts in a relationship that has lasted over many years. In 2012 he was appointed musical director of the National Youth Brass Band of New Zealand and took the band to Beijing and Tianjin in China for an international youth music festival. His three-year term as music director finished in January of this year with final concerts in Westport, Nelson and Blenheim. He has also guest conducted other New Zealand brass bands including Dalewool Auckland Brass, North Shore Brass, Kaikorai Metropolitan Brass and the Otago/Southland Youth Band.

Peter is active as a composer, arranger and adjudicator: in 2015 he has already adjudicated at both the Otago/Southland and Canterbury brass contests, and he has adjudicated at nearly every district band contest in New Zealand, the Queensland and Australian Nationals (twice), and three times at the New Zealand National contest.
