Peter Muir
Peter Muir, Ph.D., is a world-class musician whose approach is guided by a passionate belief in the power of music to transform the well-being of individuals and communities.
Internationally recognized as pianist, educator, musicologist, and conductor, his ground-breaking approach is deeply influenced by the life-work of John Diamond, M.D., a leading authority in using the arts for health, with whom Dr. Muir has been closely associated for almost thirty years.
With an impressively broad repertoire embracing jazz, blues, ragtime, and classical, the New York Times has described his playing as “potent” and Newsday has praised his “terrific” performances.
A noted scholar of American vernacular music and author of the critically acclaimed "Long Lost Blues: The Rise of Blues in American Popular Culture."
Dr. Muir has been directing choral and instrumental groups for more than 25 years in the UK and US. He is director of the Virtual Songbirds, an inclusive, online singing community.
