Peter Frost

Director of Music

Peter Frost, Director of Music, is responsible for the directing, administering, and continuing development of the Children’s Aid Chorus program. Peter received his Bachelor of Music degree from the Hartt School of Music in Connecticut and Master’s degree in teaching from Lehman College, CUNY. He performed with the Hartt Touring Opera in Connecticut, and the California Opera Center at Notre Dame College in Belmont, California. As an actor-singer, he has performed musicals in summer stock, dinner theaters and regional theaters at the Bucks County Playhouse, Pocono Playhouse, Falmouth Playhouse, Darien Dinner Theater, and North Carolina Theater. He has appeared in many dramatic plays with Bluestone Actors Project, a professional repertory company based in Westchester County. From 1992-2004, he was the music and theater arts teacher at the John Jay High School and at the Rippowam Cisqua School. As a church musician, he has been a tenor soloist in various churches, as well as the director of music at the Scarborough Presbyterian Church and the Pleasantville Presbyterian Church in Westchester. In response to the need for a repertoire appropriate for the diverse cultural backgrounds of city children, Peter composes and arranges original music in various styles from folk to jazz to Latino for our choruses to sing. The two select choirs that Peter conducts have recently performed in Carnegie Hall, The Rainbow Room, Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Waldorf Astoria, and Radio City Music Hall. GIA Publications, Inc., has just decided to begin publishing Peter’s choral music as part of their new series “Music for Young Voices.” Peter lives with his wife, Hui-Mei and their sons Connor and Liam.
