Peter Siepmann lives in Southwell with his wife and young son, who is a cathedral chorister. He became Accompanist and Assistant Music Director of Southwell Choral Society in September 2025, alongside his role as Director of Music at Nottingham (St Barnabas) Cathedral and conductor of Nottingham Bach Choir.

Peter is well known in the region for his encouraging, enthusiastic and thoughtful approach to rehearsal and performance.  As an accompanist and continuo player (a particular passion), Peter has performed with many of the UK’s leading soloists, and as a conductor, he has directed a wider range of the choral repertoire with choirs and orchestras of all sizes, both amateur and professional, on the concert stage and in a liturgical setting.

Alongside his performing work, and after sixteen years in the classroom (including a decade as Head of Academic Music at Repton School), Peter is currently working as a Fundraising Officer at Peterborough Cathedral.  He also serves on the Grant Assessment Panel of the Cathedral Music Trust and is a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists.
