Peter M. van Tour, Associate Professor in Music Theory
Peter earned master degrees in Music Pedagogy at the Conservatory of Brabant, Tilburg, NL, in musicology at University of Utrecht, and in Music Theory at the Royal College of Music, Stockholm, SE, and he published his PhD dissertation "Counterpoint and Partimento: Methods of Teaching Composition in Late Eighteenth-century Naples” in 2015 at Uppsala University Press. Peter's academic output ranges from analytical studies to compositional theory, paleographic studies, and modern theory pedagogy.
Peter is co-founder of the Gotland School of Music Composition in Visby, where he worked with several Swedish composers, such as Prof. Sven-David Sandström, Prof. Per Mårtensson, and Henrik Strindberg. After his dissertation, Peter worked as guest professor at the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium (2016-17), and as associate professor in Music Theory at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo in Norway between 2017 and 2020.
As a lecturer in vocal counterpoint and improvisation, Peter has given numerous lectures and workshops at insitutions, such as the Universität für Darstellende Kunst und Musik (AU), Luzern Hochschule für Musik (CH), Conservatorium van Amsterdam (NL), Conservatorium van Maastricht (NL), Indiana University (USA), the Juilliard School of Music (USA), and others.
As a researcher in Italian partimento traditions, he is a regular guest lecturer at universities and conservatories, in Scandinavia and beyond.
In 2024, Peter will be giving guest lectures at the Mozarteum in Salzburg (Austria), at the Congress of the Korean Society for Music Theory, KSMT, in Seoul (South Korea), the 5th Biennial Conference of the Brazilian Society for Music Theory and Analysis in Salvador de Bahia (Brazil), and at the International Partimento Conference “Partimento – Realizing its Potential” at the Universität für Musik und Darstellende Kunst in Vienna (Austria).
