I am a classical musician based in Bristol, England, with thirty years’ experience as a composer, conductor, pianist and teacher.

My musical activities include:

  • Composing and arranging music for all kinds of performing forces

  • Conducting choirs and leading choral workshops

  • Performing as a piano soloist, accompanist, and chamber musician

  • Teaching piano, music theory, and composition

I received my musical education at the King's School Worcester, St John’s College Cambridge, and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. My composition teachers were Robin Holloway, Hugh Wood, Alfred Nieman and George Nicholson. My piano teachers were Phyllis Palmer and Terence Beckles.

I recently conducted hugely successful performances of Handel's Messiah and Elgar's Dream of Gerontius, in front of large and appreciative audiences in Thornbury and Monmouth. Many thanks to the choral societies of Thornbury (Messiah) and Monmouth with Chepstow (Gerontius) for their excellent singing. Both performances were accompanied by superb orchestras (Thornbury Camerata and Regency Sinfonia), with teams of wonderful soloists.
