Peter B. Cornell is a Seattle area composer who is continuously expanding his command of a variety of musical forms, genres, and modes of expression. A software engineer by trade, Peter took piano lessons from a young age and began writing piano solos in 2009. Through private study with John Muehleisen, these efforts expanded to include compositions for solo voice, choir, and instrumental ensemble.

In addition to composing, Peter plays the piano, organ, and accompanies solo vocalists regularly. He has sung in various choirs for many years, among them nine years with the Choral Arts Society of Washington including performances at the Kennedy Center (D.C.), Lincoln Center (New York City), Royal Albert Hall (London), Teatro Colón (Buenos Aires), and Theatro Municipal (Rio de Janeiro).
