Peter has been the Festival’s Executive Director and General Manager since 2022 and has decades of non-profit leadership experience and experience as a philanthropic advisor for high net-worth families.  He has worked as a grantmaker as the Vice President of the Vermont Community Foundation and as the President of VAMHAR.  He holds a master’s in religious art and architecture from Yale University and has held a variety of volunteer leadership positions in the arts.  He loves paddleboarding on Lake Champlain and stained glass restoration.  

Peter’s goals at the conference (and throughout the year) are to have peer-to-peer conversations, to share ideas, and to support each other. Ticket sales comprise such a small percentage of our income, so why don’t we talk about fundraising more?

These ongoing conversations are, of course, free. Organizations periodically ask if Pete can work for them more formally as a fundraising consultant. He occasionally does consult other groups, but he asks that payments are made to the Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival - not to him personally..
