About me

Over the last ten years I have been performing in orchestras as a percussionist and composing throughout my education. During this time I was fortunate to experience six fantastic years with the Ulster Youth Orchestra, nine years with the NEELB Orchestras and Concert Bands, multiple national and international tours, and eventually completing my degree at Leeds College of Music, following which I graduated Class of 2019.
Whilst a member of the NEELB orchestras I had the honour of performing at the Menin Gate in Ypres, Belgium for the Centenary Last Post Ceremony of the Great War, during which members of the UN, NATO and worldwide ambassadors were in attendance, and in the summer of 2019 I was invited back, now as a professional to embark on a tour of Germany and France with them, including a performance at European Parliament, which was incredible.
Almost immediately after beginning my time with the UYO I decided that I would seek to make a career for myself in composition and performance, and now upon graduating I still currently base myself in Leeds, which is a fantastic city for culture and the arts. I look forward to whatever comes next!
