Peter D. Pecere studied composition with Bright Sheng and Evan Chambers in Ann Arbor, Michigan and also studied composition and theory with Karlheinz Stockhausen in Kürten, Germany. Pecere studied music at Hofstra University, and Mannes College of Music in New York, N.Y. as a piano performance major under Eugenia Monacelli. Later he continued his piano studies in New York with Karl Ulrich Schnabel and continues to study with Frank Weinstock, at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. Earlier piano studies were under Marion DeJesu, and he also studied theory with John Myszka.
A native of Amityville, N.Y., Pecere has performed numerous piano recitals and won both first and second prizes in competitions such as the Bay Shore Music Lovers Association, Suffolk Symphony Orchestra Concerto Competition, Knights of Pythias Competition, and others.

He produced and performed on recordings for pop groups such as Pajent, The Grasshoppers, The Stone Project, and others.
