Winnipeg-based British composer Peter Meechan's music has been extensively performed throughout the world. His music has been commissioned, recorded, broadcast and performed by some of the world’s leading symphony orchestras, wind orchestras, brass bands, conductors and soloists, including the BBC Concert Orchestra and the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.  

Meechan’s music is featured on over 130 commercial recordings and has been performed at festivals and clinics globally, including the The Midwest Clinic, and he was the first ever Young Composer in Association with the prestigious Black Dyke Band from 2003-2006, where he also went on to serve as their Composer in Residence for a further season.  

In October 2020, Meechan was awarded the Canadian Composers Award by the Canadian Band Association (CBA), the 9th recipient since the award’s inception in 1991.
