As an organist, conductor and pianist
As a recital-award winning organist and conductor, I have taken masterclasses and lessons under some of the UKs greatest organists such as Dame Gillian Weir, Robert Quinney and Gordon Stewart. I have played at many of the UKs major Cathedrals including Westminster Cathedral and Abbey, Southwark, Peterborough, Hereford, Canterbury, Liverpool, Chichester, Belfast, most Oxford and Cambridge Chapels and major churches as well as abroad in France and Belgium. From 2020/21 I was the pianist for the Emily Davies Dance Academy, working as a ballet accompanist for workshops, rehearsals and exams. I am a member of the Royal College of Organists (RCO) and Fellow of the Society of Crematorium Organists (FSCO).
In 2017, I founded the London Conservatoire Singers (prior to the Guildhall Schola Cantorum), who regularly sing evensong at Cathedrals around the UK when their regular cathedral choirs are away. As well as this, from 2015-2021, I was director of music at St Agnes, Kennington Park and directed the Kennington Park recital series, hosting 13 concerts per year.

As a recitalist
As a composer, naturally my organ performance repertoire is quite focused on new music. I have a deep passion for playing music by the wandelweiser composers, the holy minimalists, the English and American experimental schools and any other composer that doesn't fit into those categories but of whom I like.
