== Life ==
Georgette Augusta Christina Lichtenstein was born in [[Budapest]] in 1863.<ref name=":0" />
She married Franklin Sievright Peterson in 1890 in Croydon, Surrey. She later accompanied him to Australia where he took up the professorship of music at the [[University of Melbourne]], replacing [[George Marshall-Hall]] in 1901.<ref name=":0" />
Peterson conducted the 1300-voice choir of women at the opening of the Australian Exhibition of Women's Work held in Melbourne in 1907. Her orchestration for "God Guide Australia" was placed second to a version by [[Florence Maude Ewart]]. The Melbourne ''Punch'' reviewer, however, considered Peterson's superior in its "perennial flow of captivating and original melody".<ref>{{cite news |date=24 October 1907 |title=Women's Work Exhibition |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article175798216 |accessdate=5 May 2024 |newspaper=Melbourne Punch |location=Victoria, Australia |page=17 |via=National Library of Australia |volume=CVII |issue=2726}}</ref>
