Peter Dijkstra

**Peter Dijkstra** is a celebrated Dutch conductor and choral maestro who’s made waves in the classical music scene with his meticulous approach to sacred and choral works. Known for his work as chief conductor of the Netherlands Chamber Choir and the Bavarian Radio Choir, Dijkstra has a knack for bringing out the emotional depth and precision in everything from Bach’s *St. John Passion* to Bruckner’s grand Mass settings. His recent projects, like the live Mozart *Requiem* and the introspective *Van Gogh in Me*, showcase his ability to blend historical reverence with fresh interpretations. Beyond the concert hall, he’s passionate about music education, demystifying masterpieces through engaging guides like the *Wege zur Musik* series. Whether leading a haunting rendition of Auerbach’s *72 Angels* or breathing life into Renaissance chansons, Dijkstra’s artistry bridges centuries with clarity and warmth.
