As an oboist I’m equally at home in classical, contemporary or experimental contexts.

Recent classical engagements have been with York Guildhall Orchestra, Scarborough Symphony Orchestra and Opera Dei Lumi. I am also principal oboe of the Leeds Haydn Players.

Recent contemporary and experimental appearances include performances with contemporary music groups Rarescale and Spirited Winds, collectives ish and osc~, and a number of solo recitals.
