Heavily influenced by his musical father, Peter Brye has, in turn, influenced and brought joy to hundreds of other young musicians in Pennsylvania and the east coast. While he is now retired as conductor of the Reading Symphony Youth Orchestra and as professor of music0 at Millersville University, at 72 he still continues to perform with the Reading Symphony Orchestra and teach cello students in his private studio. He has been a large part of the RSO‘s history with his tenure as cellist and cover conductor spanning musical directors Louis Vyner, Sydney Rothstein and current conductor Andrew Constantine.
Peter joined us in his studio to discuss his brilliant teaching and performance career. There is a lot of musical history in the Reading and Lancaster areas packed into this episode and while we go down many different paths in our conversation (sometimes arriving at the point of ridiculousness 😅), it is obvious that Peter’s energy and enthusiasm for music and life, along with his humor, is inexhaustible. Please join us for this enjoyable roller coaster ride that is Peter’s life… between the notes.
