Short Biography

---

I am a British conductor and clarinettist specialising in music education and outreach. 

I work extensively with amateur groups across South East England: I conduct Lambeth Wind Orchestra, Leighton Buzzard Festival Singers and Harpenden Music Makers Choir. I also perform frequently as a clarinettist, often in collaboration with Antonio Morabito.

I studied for my undergraduate music degree at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, where I held academic scholarships, an instrumental award and sang in the College Choir. While at Cambridge, I had clarinet lessons at the Royal Academy of Music with Angela Malsbury and Tim Lines as part of the University's CAMRAM scheme. In 2020, I graduated with a double first in Music.

I went on to study on the Master of Performance Course at the Royal College of Music. During my time at the RCM, I performed as a section principal with the RCM Symphony Orchestra and was featured in the RCM's 'In Focus' series. My studies included clarinet lessons and classes with Tim Lines, Peter Sparks and Colin Lawson, and conducting classes with Howard Williams.

​

Over the past ten years, I have conducted a wide range of ensembles ranging from specialist early music groups to wind bands and symphony orchestras. With a particular interest in both early music and new music, I have conducted works ranging from medieval polyphony and isorhythmic motets to contemporary commissions.
