Member Bio Greg Peterson believes that when you couple an ensemble in full flight with an appreciative audience, there is no place more exciting to be than on the conductor’s podium! ​ Greg began initial studies in conducting through the Australian Wind Orchestra, and the Jerry Novak Conducting Summer School. Further studies were completed at the Defence Force School of Music with Dr. Barry Bignell as part of the Band Officer Course. In that time, Greg completed masterclasses with Richard Divall AO OBE, and Stephen Williams. Since then, Greg has conducted most bands in the Australian Defence Force, and continues to be engaged as a guest conductor or clinician on a frequent basis. ​ Currently, Greg is employed as the Officer Commanding/Music Director of the Australian Army Band Kapooka. Other key military appointments include Officer Commanding/Senior Instructor at the Defence Force School of Music, and 2IC/Music Director of the Australian Army Band Adelaide. In the community, Greg enjoyed a successful tenure as Music Director of Australia’s premier gay and lesbian community concert band - the Melbourne Rainbow Band. ​ His experiences thus far as a conductor enable him to work with a wide range of symphonic wind, brass band and orchestral ensembles. This spectrum includes professional outfits all the way to talented community groups with musicians of varying ages and abilities. As such, recent conducting highlights have included appearances with the Royal Australian Air Force Band, the Berlin Sinfonietta, the Adelaide Wind Orchestra, the London Serenata, and the Military Band of Upper Austria. ​ As a competitor, Greg was successful in advancing to the 2nd Stage of the Warsaw Wind Ensemble Conducting Competition (2021), and the 2nd Round of the Premio Frederick Fennell (2020), but was unable to participate due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. ​ Greg's commitment to life-long learning has seen him develop his orchestral and wind band conducting skills throughout Australia, Austria, England, Germany and the United States; and with organisations such as The Juilliard School, The United States Army Band
