Peter Stallworthy studied piano from the age of 7 and some six years later was a prize-winner in the National Chopin Competition in London.  He studied music at Kings College, London, and subsequently piano with Ryszard Bakst at the Royal Manchester College of Music (now the Royal Northern College of Music), where he was awarded the Ricordi prize for conducting.

Founder conductor of the Manchester Sinfonia, Peter participated in a number of conducting seminars with George Hurst and Maurice Handford, whom he succeeded as Principal Conductor of the Wilmslow Symphony Orchestra, before moving to London.

Since returning to the North West, Peter has become increasingly involved with choirs and orchestras across the region and in September 1999 was appointed Conductor of The Barnby Choir. He is Principal Conductor of the North Staffordshire Symphony Orchestra and a regular guest conductor with the Wilmslow Symphony Orchestra. He is also Conductor of the Cheshire Sinfonia and the chamber choir Chorale, which he established in 2005 and 2006.
