About me
Alongside my career as an educator, I have been self-employed variously as composer, musician, conductor, musical director and record producer for a range of international clients, including Edinburgh University, EMI Music, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Caroline O'Connor, Sir Robert Helpmann, Sir Howard Morrison. My work has featured in performances at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Royal Albert Hall and Garrick Theatre (London), Sydney Opera House and Melbourne Hamer Hall (Australia), the Australian Embassy (New York), Sala Accademica di Santa Cecilia (Rome) and Edinburgh University. I have been orchestrator, associate composer, musician for 21 feature films, television documentaries, mini series, and 15 album titles and have been a frequent conductor of studio orchestras, including Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. I have performed extensively as keyboardist, including over 400 performances of Lloyd Webber's show Cats, also Phantom of the Opera, and as freelance musical director.Skills
