About the Director

Peter J. Williams

Peter J. Williams received his Bachelor of Music from Barrington College and completed his graduate studies in conducting and composition at Vandercook College in Chicago, where he studied and performed under Chicago Symphony organist Thomas Weisflog and acclaimed composer-conductor John Rutter.

Highly regarded as a pianist and conductor, Peter Williams released his first solo album for piano, “Silent Night, Holy Night,” in 1995. The recording has since become a much requested Christmas time favorite on Boston's WGBH and WCRB radio stations. The recording, “Just me, Just Piano,” features Williams’s own compositions and selected hymns of faith. His most recent release, “In The Bleak Mid-Winter,” is a collection of William’s solo piano arrangments of Christmas favorites.

Williams has also hosted the weekly radio show, “The New Musicians Forum,” on WARA and WJIB stations in Cambridge, MA. He has received his first major motion picture credit for arranging and directing the sound track for MGM Studio’s “Oleanna” by American playwright David Mamet.

Currently, Mr. Williams is head of the vocal department for the North Stonington, CT. Public School System. He is also the Founding Director of the Williams Chorale.
