Victoria Peacock

Singer, Composer, Conductor

A native of Saint Louis, Missouri, Victoria is an American conductor, composer, singer, and pianist.

Her composition career began at age three with a short, ethereal piano piece about a dream. In eighth grade, she composed a song for her class play and continued to write incidental music for high school stage productions. She was the winner of the 2015 Wooster Chorus Composition Competition and had her pieces featured at various functions. At Wooster, she studied with Dr. Jack Gallagher.

Victoria began studying piano at age four. When she wasn’t climbing into the piano to look at the strings, she was rewatching Fantasia and plucking out tunes from her mother’s repertoire by ear. Later, she regularly performed competitively for NFMC and Piano Guild Festivals, and at the World Piano Competition in Cincinnati. She also has some training in organ and jazz piano.

Through her hometown church and school choirs, Victoria realized early on that singing was a calling for her. She began singing lessons at age 13 and has since sung with many ensembles, such as Quire Cleveland, the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus, Cleveland Chamber Choir, the Wooster Chorus, and the Boston Cecilia.

As a conductor, Victoria has worked with the Wooster Singers, the Wooster Chorus, the Boston Conservatory choruses and orchestras, and various smaller ensembles. Her specialty is choral music, particularly chamber, new, and a cappella works. She has studied under Dr. Lisa Wong, Robert Porco, Dr. James Jordan, Dr. George Case, Dr. Nathan Reiff, and Bruce Hangen.
