Peter Learn

Originally from Rochester, New York, award-winning and internationally-performed composer Peter Learn began creating original music in his late teens, first primarily electronic soundscapes and EDM, then branching out into concert music and media scoring. In addition to his role as a composer, Learn is also a percussionist, reformed punk rocker, and avid amateur pianist.  Critic Lawrence Budman has called Learn’s music “deeply expressive, with driving rhythms” and “effectively poetic.” London critic Tim Hochstrasser has referred to his work as “elegant” and “evoking the style of Barber in its textures.” Learn has worked with ensembles such as the Cleveland Orchestra, Lunar Ensemble, Miami Piano Circle, the Henri Mancini String Quartet, ResounDuo, Ensemble IBIS, Phaedra Ensemble, Inner Voices, and the USF President’s Trio. Soloists who have commissioned works from him include Danny Brian, Sarah Toth, Rebekah Smeltzer, Andrew Friedrichs, Daniel Manoiu, and Phillipe Brunet.
