A versatile and
inquisitive pianist, Peter Henderson is much in demand as a chamber musician. A

noted German violist Roland Glassl, a member of the Mandelring String Quartet.
As a freelance pianist, Henderson performs in collaboration with several

Orchestra's Community Partnerships Program and in other local settings, such as
the innovative Crossings series, radio station KFUO Classic 99's “From the
Garden Live,” the Sheldon’s Classical Series, and the Innsbrook Institute Music
Festival. A former full-time member of the Hot Springs, Virginia-based Garth
Newel Piano Quartet, Henderson
participated in the Quartet’s inaugural
recording of the G-Minor Quartets of Mozart and Brahms. Henderson holds the degree Doctor of Music in Piano
Performance, Literature, and Pedagogy from Indiana University-Bloomington. His
piano instructors have included Dr. Karen Shaw and Dr. Jay Mauchley. Peter occasionally
serves as keyboardist with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and frequently
gives Pre-Concert Perspectives from the SLSO's Powell Hall stage prior to
subscription concerts. He has coached chamber music performance techniques at
the San Diego Chamber Music Workshop each summer since 2001, and has appeared
as the orchestral and chamber keyboardist of the Sun Valley Summer Symphony.
