Over the past two decades, the Paul Peterson Orchestra has provided top shelf entertainment for a variety of engagements.  We arrange the group to accommodate your needs, ranging from a 5-piece to a 15-piece band offering horns, strings, and vocalists.

This group has accompanied legendary artists including Michael Bolton, John Legend, Kenny Loggins, Donny Osmond, Gladys Knight, and Michael Crawford to name a few.  

Conductor and founder, Paul Peterson, is a member of The Peterson Family, known as the “First Family of Music” in Minnesota. He and his family have been inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame, and continue to record and participate in concert tours with David Sanborn and Fleetwood Mac and several other well-known musicians. Another notable highlight for Paul was appearing in Purple Rain as keyboardist for Morris Day and The Time.
