Peter's Music:

Peter Dent is an accomplished jazz pianist and composer. He has the added advantage of one challenged by the Gospel and its many rhythms. He is steeped in both the music of the church and jazz, understanding both generes at deep levels. Jazz, the music of the people, and gospel, the music of the church come together in a form that honours both while providing a pleasurable listening experience. Peter has produced several CD's - click on one of the images below for more details.

Since 2005 he has been taking choirs to the Caribbean and has been returning to Cuba since 2009.   Individual Choristers from across Canada and the United States register for summer or winter performing trips.
