Peter
Mousaferiadis
In addition to his role of Director of PAN Event Entertainment, Peter is a composer, conductor, multicultural arts advocate and an artistic director.
Peter’s experience within the Melbourne arts community is extensive and diverse. From humble beginnings as one of five children born of Greek immigrant stock, growing up on the – then – mean streets of Newport in Melbourne’s inner west served as a training ground for his fierce determination to succeed. Peter’s upbringing was expressly Melbourne, and the local demographic in which he was raised was undeniably multi-cultural.
Music was one of Peter’s first loves, and he has developed what was once a hobby into a genuine passion for all aspects of performance. The leap into the thriving multicultural arts milieu, and the business aspects of cultural advocacy for artists, was not far behind – indeed, one could say, was an inevitability, especially according to his colleagues, amongst whom he has garnered great respect over the years.
With a firm goal in mind, Peter undertook two Bachelor of Arts degrees, a major in Music from the Victorian College of the Arts, and a Religious Studies major from LaTrobe University. He is fluent in modern Greek, and is well-versed in Ancient Greek and Italian.
Feeling that he deserved a sabbatical, Peter embarked on a tour of Europe and America between 1990 and 1995, and still managed to study and conduct - whilst absorbing the diversity of European cultural life, of course!
