MY EXPERIENCE AS A CONDUCTOR

While I have directed a number of ensembles over the last few years, my main focus as a conductor has been my work with Dorian Consort. We generally perform early music, either focusing on repertoire outside of the more conventional canon or finding interesting ways to perform better-known pieces. This has included a folk-inspired take on Henry Purcell's 'Dido and Aeneas', where we used guitar as the main source of continuo, and received a 5* rating from Varsity Newspaper.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have focused more on recording and growing our YouTube page, which now has over 90,000 views. Members of Dorian Consort have also performed with Voces8, Tenebrae Choir, London Mozart Players and the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge.

Alongside my work with Dorian Consort, I have been the conductor of the CDI Orchestra in Cambridge in 2018, the Conductor in Residence for The Phoenix Music Society in the 2018–2019 academic year, and the Artistic Director of Cambridge Opera Workshop a year later. In the latter two of these roles, I conducted new, and often complex, pieces for large ensembles, working with amateur and student musicians.

In September 2022, I became the conductor of Lambeth Wind Orchestra, leading rehearsals for this group of talented amateur musicians, performing concerts of repertoire ranging from jazz and film music to modern classics of the wind orchestra repertoire.

In January 2023, I began conducting the choral society Leighton Buzzard Festival Singers, rehearsing the choral society for concerts ranging from large-scale classical works to carols and light music
