I studied Music at The University of Manchester 2002-2005, graduating with first class BMus (honours) degree. I studied composition with Dr Philip Grange and Dr Kevin Malone.
My experience is mainly in:
- Composing for theatre and chamber ensembles.
- Music and sound design for site-specific and stage-based theatrical performances, both devised and scripted.
- Experienced as musical director, from chamber ensembles to orchestras.
