Peter Togni

Peter Anthony Togni (born September 12, 1959) is a freelancer Canadian composer and broadcaster based in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Togni's music has been heard at Toronto's Roy Thompson Hall, the Moscow Conservatory, the Oriental Arts Centre in Shanghai, to the Vatican in Rome for Pope John Paul II.

This concerto was recorded by bass clarinettist Jeff Reilly and the Elmer Iseler Singers and produced by Manfred Eicher.

In 2012, Togni's work Missa Liberationis, developed in collaboration with the Latvian Youth Choir BALSIS, was published by Musica Baltica.

That same year, Togni was honored with the Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee Medal, recognizing his contributions to Canadian community life.

The recording, released in 2015 by ATMA Classique, received critical acclaim and won the grand prize at the 2014 Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia Masterworks Arts Award.

The Togni Trio, a jazz ensemble with drummer Malcolm Gould and bassist George Koeller, performs throughout Canada and the United States and has two released recordings.
