As an orchestral conductor I particularly enjoy conducting music from the classical period, especially Mozart. I have directed both Symphonies 21 and 39 in public performance, and hope to direct all of them in the coming years. I have also directed Mozart's Requiem in the version completed by Robert Levin. For this performance I purchased a complete performance set of both vocal and orchestral parts, and these are available for hire. Please email for details.

As with my piano studies, I also enjoy studying neglected composers of the classical era. Of particular interest to me are Josef Myslivecek, Carl Friedrich Abel and Georg Benda. I believe too much emphasis is put on mainstream composers, and whilst the likes of Mozart and Haydn are fantastic and get 'bums on seats', there is far too much good music from less well known composers, which is not performed.

As a choral conductor I have on occasions conducted two choral societies near Bristol, those in Portishead and Nailsea. Between February 2007 and June 2008 I held the post of Music Director for Wrington Vale Choral Society. I had the honour of directing the choir's 60th birthday anniversary concert in November 2007 with a performance of Haydn's 'Missa Cellensis in honorem BVM'. This was with four professional soloists working in the Bristol area, and with orchestral accompaniment. I also directed performances of Stainer's Crucifixion and Vivaldi's Gloria.  

At present I am also Music Director for a small chamber choir which runs in Portishead during the summer months. With them, I have directed many kinds of music, including various masses and motets by Palestrina, Victoria and Byrd; Elgar and Mendelssohn part songs; and music by Michael Hurd and Jonathan Dove. Whilst a student in London I also conducted extracts from Handel's 'Messiah' and Mozart's Requiem.
