Rev. Fr. Peter Kolawole Osuntope, Director

Rev. Fr. Peter Kolawole Osuntope is the Director of Music, Archdiocese of Lagos and the Director of St. Gregory Diploma School of Pastoral Music. After completing his graduate studies in sacred music, including at Emmanuel College, University of Toronto, Fr. Osuntope returned to Nigeria with a vision: to establish a dedicated academy that brings together theological depth, musical excellence, and liturgical purpose.

 

Under his leadership:

  • The School was founded in 2018 and has since been officially approved by the Archdiocese of Lagos and accredited through Augustine University, Ilara-Epe.

  • Partnerships have been formed with Emmanuel College and the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Music to ensure that students benefit from both local and international standards of sacred music education.

  • He identified and addressed a vital need: many church music leaders in Nigeria lack formal training in sacred music, liturgy, and worship planning. The Diploma Program under his direction aims to equip such leaders with comprehensive skills, musical, theological and pastoral.
