About Me:
 
Peter Jarvis is an American percussionist, conductor, drummer, composer, copyist, print music editor and educator. As a freelance musician he has performed as a soloist, chamber player and conductor with numerous chamber music ensembles including the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, The Group for Contemporary Music, The American Modern Ensemble, The New Jersey Percussion Ensemble (which he directs) and on new music/arts festivals such as the Europe/Asia Festival and the Hong Kong Arts Festival. The New York Times has said about Jarvis's conducting: ". . . [He] did full justice to its rhythmic complexities; Mr. Jarvis and his forces richly deserved the standing ovation they received." According to the New Music Connoisseur: "While the new music scene abounds with percussionists, only a very few can match the awesome musicianship of Peter Jarvis." The Los Angeles Times remarked: "(Lisa) Moore, (Tara) O'Connor, (Mark) Stewart and (Peter) Jarvis gave it a blithe, bravura performance."

Jarvis has performed and or recorded with composers and musicians such as John Cage and Kung Chi Shing among other prominent figures. He is active as a percussionist, conductor and composer in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and elsewhere. As conductor he has appeared with the Saint Luke's Chamber Ensemble, The New Jersey Percussion Ensemble, Ensemble21 and several other groups. He has appeared as guest conductor on the San Francisco Symphony's New and Unusual Music Series. He has been invited to conduct the United States Coast Guard Chamber Players in a performance of Messiaen's "Oiseaux Exotiques" ("Exotic Birds") later this season.

Jarvis teaches music at Connecticut College and William Paterson University. His teaching responsibilities include academic classes, percussion lessons, coaching/conducting chamber music and directing the New Music Series at William Paterson University and several concerts a year at Connecticut College.

His compositions are published by Calabrese Brothers Music, LLC and he is a member of BMI.
