I currently work with the following ensembles:

Barnes Concert Band, a symphonic wind band based in Barnes, south west London, with a membership of about 40 wind, brass and percussion players.

City of London Symphonic Winds, a group of woodwind and brass players, based in and around London, performing a range of symphonic music as well as some lighter numbers.

London Repertoire Orchestra, a weekly rehearsal orchestra that plays a different piece each week, to build a high standard of sight-reading and musicianship in its members.

I am currently involved in a project to co-found a new orchestra in SE London, to be based in/around Beckenham. (See this post.) This as-yet-unnamed orchestra will launch in April 2012 with an exciting repertoire day – and we are actively seeking members. Please visit the website and get in touch to register your interest.

In my time, I’ve had the pleasure of working with many other orchestras around London and the south of England, including:

• Southampton University Symphony Orchestra (Assistant Conductor 2000-01, 2002-03)

My affinity with wind orchestras has also led me to work with many bands, including:
