About me
I am a music director / pianist / composer based in London, and a happy mush of my various musical experiences. I have performed at the Wigmore Hall and Queen Elizabeth Hall as a classical pianist, was MD for Emilia at the Vaudeville Theatre and King John / The Whip at the RSC, and have improvised with Showstoppers and Nina Conti. All these different influences feed into my sound as a composer.Additional skills:
I play the flute, piccolo and various world flutes including the quena and panpipes. I am also an arranger, teacher and regular education & outreach conductor / musician. I am passionate about new writing and have been involved in many premieres.
