He has composed music for the Danny Grossman Dance Co., a commissioned piece entitled Boxed performed numerous times throughout 1989, as well as music for the modern dance troupe Motus O, The Awoken, a commissioned work performed at the Toronto Dance Fringe in 1993. Also in 1993 Nick had a concert devoted entirely to his own works performed at The Music Gallery in Toronto. Entitled "Rhapsodic Visions," the concert featured various chamber works and songs, including the world premiere of Nocturne for unaccompanied guitar (commissioned by Canadian guitarist Barton Wigg) and the world premiere of Two Fugues for String Trio. The special event concert incorporated dance and theatre as part of the program.

In 1992 Nick was commissioned by Canadian painter Ken Kirkby to compose a symphony as part of a multi-media event. The project, and the symphony, are entitled Isumataq. Isumataq is for choir and orchestra and received special recognition by the Canadian Federal Parliament in March 1993 at a special House of Commons ceremony recognizing Isumataq as a work important for Canada and for Canadian culture. The ceremony was a closed ceremony attended by The Prime Minister, the party Leaders, the MP's of the House and the Speaker of the House.

Since 1993 Nick has devoted himself exclusively to composing his own non-commissioned works. His orchestral work Northern Lights was composed in 1993 and received its world premiere in November 1994 by Symphony Hamilton, conducted by Clyde Mitchell. In 1997 Northern Lights was performed by Symphony New Brunswick across a three city Maritime tour and in April of 1998 it was further performed by the Regina Symphony, conducted by Marc David. This concert was recorded and broadcast nationally by CBC radio.

Nick composed his Motets throughout 1998. These 20 a cappella choral works cover the whole range of choral composition-rich polyphony; chordal pieces; textures of 2, 4 and 5 parts. The Motets were recorded in June of 1999 by The Renaissance Singers, conducted by Richard Cunningham, and released nationally on the Phoenix Records label. The world premiere concert of Motets took place September 24 at Toronto's renowned Ford Centre Recital Hall.

Nick's music is powerfully expressive, born out of a unique and original artistic vision, characterized by skill and craftsmanship. His harmonies are original and innovative, his music is passionate and his works, though very chromatic, are melodic, tonal and accessible. Critics and audiences have praised Nick's music across a wide variety of genres-orchestral, choral, chamber and vocal. He imbues traditional forms with a spirit and vitality all his own, giving each of his works the unmistakable stamp of his original musical language and style.

Currently, Nick is working on an opera, concertos and various choral, orchestral, vocal and chamber works. The CD Nick Peros-Motets, on the Phoenix Records label (PHX 0878-2), is the debut recording of works by Nick Peros. His second CD, Songs, is scheduled for a Fall 2000 release on Phoenix Records and will feature approximately 30 original songs, setting to music the poetry of Emily Bronte, Emily Dickinson, William Blake, A. E. Housman, William Wordsworth, Robert Louis Stevenson and others, performed by Canadian soprano Heidi Klann and pianist Alayne Hall. Nick's music has received performances across North America and Europe and includes chamber works, songs, choral works, orchestral works and one symphony.
