In November 2018 I was appointed Musical Director of the Orlando Chamber Choir, an excellent amateur chamber choir focusing on early music, based in central London . With Orlando I am looking forward to performing at the Marvão International Festival in Portugal and closer to home at Gray's Inn Chapel and St Mary Aldermary. Other exciting conducting engagements in 2020 including conducting the choir of the Endellion Easter Festival in a performance of John Tavener's Svyati and conducting film recording sessions at Air Studios.
I am also the Musical Director of Concordium - a string ensemble of pro-am players keen to explore well- and lesser-known string repertoire. Our next concert is for Music by the Bridge at All Saint's, Fulham, on 13th November 2020.
