Timothy Peterson’s music has been performed internationally at venues ranging from galleries and distilleries to National Sawdust and Lincoln Center. His works, which draw inspiration from a breadth of subjects including micrometeorology and interspecies encounters, have been featured at the Bang on a Can Summer Music Festival at MASS MoCA, BMP: Next Gen (Beth Morrison Projects), the Hear Now Music Festival (Los Angeles), and La Jolla Music Society’s SummerFest.

Past projects include commissions from the Gabriela Lena Frank Creative Academy of Music (Composing Earth initiative), the National Association of Teachers of Singing, Cincinnati Song Initiative, and a song cycle for soprano Grayen Gardner (LA Master Chorale) that explores alternate tuning systems and incorporates archival texts from the Civil War.
