Peg Luke

Great art transforms an experience into something beyond a single individual and communicates among souls…

What Peg Luke loves most about creating and performing music is the ability to relay her message to others in a manner beyond the capacity of mere words. Peg’s creative essence is expressed throughout many mediums and captures an ambient, captivating authenticity. Her musical style takes on a fresh classical  vibe that is spiritually driven and created for you, the listener. Luke lives her life guided by her faith and a belief that life is beautiful.

Peg’s spiritual and musical journey continues as she eagerly anticipates the launch of an upcoming 2024 Christmas project, which is close to her heart.  Peg always hopes to transcend a beautiful melody and message that sinks right into the listener’s soul, leaving a positive, life-affirming impact.

At an early age, Luke knew she wanted to make music – and the flute – central to her life after hearing a series of live performances by flautist Jeanne-Pierre Rampal. He provided the inspiration that led Peg into the pursuit of a creative life full of inspiring opportunities. After receiving her master’s degree in musical performance, she was presented with the once-in-a lifetime opportunity to study privately with Geoffrey Gilbert (teacher to James Galway). Today, Luke has grown into a sought-after accompanist as well as a recorded and published composer. She has performed eleven solo recitals at Carnegie Hall in New York City.  She made her international debut at Cadogan Hall in London, October 2015. She has also performed alongside such classical musicians as Isaac Stern and Mstislav Rostropovich.

In addition to writing her own music, Luke also enjoys performing commissioned works by some high-profile U.S. composers such as Kenneth Fuchs, Gary Schocker and Michael Gilbertson. She has sold thousands of records, and in the process became known for both her captivating stage presence and for appearances in various media formats and orchestra ensembles.

2017 saw Peg adding a new repertoire to the core of her efforts with a project called “Fluting Around”—an undertaking by famous Mohican composer Brent Michael David. In this 25-minute-long creation, Luke plays both the modern flute and two Native American flutes, all of which offers a unique adventure for concert-goers. Another 2017 development had Luke debut at the Merkin Concert Hall in Kaufamn Music Center. In addition to performing, Peg continued her love of composing and writing for flute, piano and voice with a commission for the vocal group Perfect Harmony, which is celebrated their 20th anniversary as a group. Her works are available for purchase with MusicNotes, SheetMusicPlus and her own publishing company, Peg Luke Publishing.

It is the diversity in these delightful performances that have extended her repertoire as well as her passion for musical creativity.

​Peg has several recording projects planned for the year 2023 and she looks forward to bringing you her new music!
