Life

From 1966 Kiesewetter studied composition with Günter Bialas at the Musikhochschule in Munich , with whom he then stayed connected as a lecturer in music theory , ear training and form theory . At the same time he studied musicology and worked as a journalist, a. a. as a juror for the German Record Critics' Prize . As a freelancer for Bayerischer Rundfunk , he composed the music for numerous feature and radio play productions for school radio.

A stay in Israel in 1991 was a key experience for Kiesewetter and shaped his further work. Many of his pieces have titles in Hebrew .

Peter Kiesewetter initially worked as a lecturer in composition at the Richard Strauss Conservatory in Munich ; In 1991 he became an honorary professor for composition at the Munich University of Music, and in 1992 professor at the Hanover University of Music.
