Peter Hannan (born 19 March 1953) is a Canadian composer, opera director[1] and recorder player based in British Columbia.
[6] His tunes include strong rhythms, showing the influence of the "New Hague" school of Dutch minimalism, and in particular of composer Louis Andriessen.
Hanna began composing music for modern opera, and in 1997 created an operatic work The Gang, which included a libretto by Tom Cone.
[8] Hannan performed Christos Hatzis' composition Nadir, which combines live music with recorded tracks, as was commissioned for him by the Canadian Electronic Ensemble.
[11] In 2011 four of Hannan's compositions were recorded by Musica Intima and the Vancouver Cantata Singers and released on the Artifact Music label as the album Rethink Forever.
