Award-winning lute player and romantic guitarist Peter Croton is an active performer and records as a soloist and accompanist. In the press, he has been called the "lyric poet of the lute" and has been praised for his "breathtaking virtuosity" and "astonishing range of tonal and dynamic colours". His compositions for voice and lute have been described as "challenging and refined... highly suitable for inclusion in today's concert repertoire".

Peter teaches lute, romantic guitar, continuo and historical performance practice at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and the Conservatory of Music in Bern. His most recent books, A METHOD FOR THE BAROQUE LUTE BASED ON HISTORICAL SOURCES & A METHOD FOR THE RENAISSANCE LUTE, WITH A SUPPLEMENT FOR THE ARCHLUTE, are now available. His recent books PERFORMING BAROQUE MUSIC ON THE CLASSICAL GUITAR and PERFORMING BAROQUE MUSIC ON THE LUTE & THEORBO are available on Amazon (international sites).

His tutor, FIGURED BASS ON THE CLASSICAL GUITAR - A PRACTICAL APPROACH BASED ON HISTORICAL PRINCIPLES, was described by Konrad Ragossing as "...a valuable contribution not only to the practice of thoroughbass playing on the classical guitar, but above all to the expansion of knowledge of musical practice in a fundamental period of Western music - an equally important guide for all guitarists, for teachers, students and concert artists".

Since 2011, Peter Croton has been included in Marquis Who's Who in the World, which presents biographies of "the most successful men and women from all over the world and in all fields of endeavour".

Peter is President of the German Lute Society (Deutsche Lautengesellschaft), and is the initiator and artistic director of the BASEL PLUCKS lute and guitar festival.
