Timeline

1970

Peter Boyer (born February 10, 1970, in Providence, Rhode Island) is an American composer, conductor, orchestrator, and professor of music.

He is known primarily for his orchestral works, which have received over 600 performances, by more than 250 orchestras.

Boyer received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Rhode Island College.

1990

While an undergraduate, USA Today named him to its first All-USA College Academic Team (1990), composed of "the 20 best and brightest" college students in the United States, and he received the Young American Award.

He received Master of Music and Doctor of Musical Arts degrees from The Hartt School of the University of Hartford, where he studied composition with Larry Alan Smith and Robert Carl and conducting with Harold Farberman.

Boyer then studied privately with composer John Corigliano in New York, before relocating to Los Angeles to attend the Scoring for Motion Pictures and Television Program at the USC Thornton School of Music.

There Boyer studied with composers including Elmer Bernstein, David Raksin, Buddy Baker and Christopher Young.

1996

On completing his studies in 1996, Boyer was appointed to the faculty of Claremont Graduate University, and in 1999 he was named the first recipient of its Helen M. Smith Chair in Music.

2001

In 2001, Boyer conducted the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios in his debut commercial recording.

On its release, Boyer became one of the youngest composers to have an entire album of his orchestral music recorded with a world-class orchestra and distributed by an international record label (Koch).

This recording was widely broadcast and acclaimed: "Peter Boyer makes a most impressive debut on disc as composer and conductor of his own music. At its finest, his music is attractive, finely crafted with a genuine humanity, refreshing for being non-didactic in these times of preachy self-importance."

2003

In 2003, Boyer established the publishing company Propulsive Music.

Boyer has received a number of significant commissions for his work.

Among the many orchestras that have performed Boyer's works are the Boston Symphony Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, Cleveland Orchestra, Dallas Symphony, Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, Houston Symphony, Detroit Symphony, San Diego Symphony, Nashville Symphony, Pacific Symphony, Colorado Symphony, Phoenix Symphony, Brooklyn Philharmonic, Buffalo Philharmonic, Fort Worth Symphony, Kansas City Symphony, Virginia Symphony, Hartford Symphony, Des Moines Symphony, Pasadena Symphony, and Bamberg Symphony.

In 2003, Boyer conducted London's Philharmonia Orchestra in a recording of his work Ellis Island: The Dream of America, later working with a distinguished cast of actors in New York City to complete this recording project, which was released on the Naxos record label.

2006

The recording received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Classical Contemporary Composition in the 48th annual Grammy Awards (2006).

Ellis Island has become Boyer's best-known work, with over 250 performances given by 120 orchestras, and has been much acclaimed: "Peter Boyer's Ellis Island: The Dream of America is a work of rare authenticity and directness."

2010

In February 2010, the Boston Pops Orchestra and Conductor Keith Lockhart announced that they had commissioned Boyer to compose a work entitled The Dream Lives On: A Portrait of the Kennedy Brothers, celebrating the legacy of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Edward M. Kennedy as the centerpiece of the orchestra's 125th anniversary season.

, In April 2010, the Boston Pops announced the participation of Hollywood actors Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, and Ed Harris as the narrators for Boyer's work.

The event received extensive media attention, was attended by many members of the Kennedy family, and was recorded and telecast on Boston's WCVB-TV.

, The Boston Globe wrote: "Boyer's work accomplishes the goals… of amplifying the texts by these three American icons. His writing draws from the traditions of Williams-esque Hollywood film scores, Broadway musicals, and American neo-Romanticism."

Conductor Miguel Harth-Bedoya appointed Boyer as the Composer-in-Residence for the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra for the 2010–11 season.

2011

2014

Naxos released this recording in 2014 to positive reviews: "Boyer writes in a fluent, powerful style that fuses conservative American currents with Hollywood-ish size and populist sentiment."

2015

2016

2017

In March 2017, Pacific Symphony announced that their performances of Boyer's Ellis Island would be filmed for PBS' highly prestigious Great Performances series, to be broadcast in the 2017-18 season.

These Ellis Island performances received critical acclaim in the Los Angeles Times and Orange County Register, which stated, "Boyer writes in an accessible style… which at its best is warm, attractive, emotionally persuasive and expertly crafted."

2018

The PBS Great Performances national television debut of Ellis Island: The Dream of America with Pacific Symphony took place on June 29, 2018.

,

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts commissioned Boyer’s Balance of Power for the National Symphony Orchestra’s 90th anniversary season in 2020-2021.

In a review of the premiere of Balance of Power, which was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic, The Washington Post wrote of the audience reaction, “the applause went on like a fourth movement.” Boyer was again commissioned by the United States Marine Band to compose a work, Fanfare for Tomorrow, to be premiered at the inauguration of President Joe Biden on January 20, 2021.

In July 2022, Naxos released Boyer’s album Balance of Power – Orchestral Works, with the composer conducting the London Symphony Orchestra.

The album received positive reviews; among them, BBC Music Magazine wrote, “Peter Boyer’s broad-brush cinematic works have the orchestral buoyancy of John Williams and the absorbing emotionalism of the late James Horner.” Boyer was commissioned for a work celebrating the coronation of King Charles III by the London-based ORA Singers and conductor Suzi Digby; the premiere of Today We Ask, with text by Grahame Davies and music by Boyer, at St. Paul’s, Covent Garden, was broadcast by Classic FM on May 5, 2023, the eve of the coronation.

In addition to his work for the concert hall, Boyer is active in the film and television music industry.
