Jane Peppler graduated from Yale University, where she sang with the Yale Women's Slavic Chorus and played with the Yale Symphony Orchestra and the School of Music Orchestra. She moved to Cambridge, MA, where she sang and arranged music for Laduvane, a Balkan ensemble, and played with the Locrian String Quartet.
In 1981 she moved to Durham NC where she joined the Pratie Heads "More-or-less Traditional Music of the British Isles"), created and directed the acappella ensemble the Solstice Assembly, and formed the world music band Mappamundi. She directed the Triangle Jewish Chorale for fourteen years and it is the arrangements she wrote for that group which are collected in the Triangle Jewish Chorale Songbook, published by lulu.com.
