I am a composer, pianist and conductor working in a variety of genres from opera to multimedia performance. My PhD was from the University of Manchester (2007), after which I took training at the Centre Acanthes and worked on the Royal Opera House’s VOX opera writing scheme. As a conductor, I have worked with Psappha and Manchester Camerata. I have over fifteen years of experience teaching in Higher Education, at the Universities of Nottingham and Salford, and as part-time lecturer at the RNCM (junior and senior Colleges).
