- What kind of experience do you have?

I have experience in chamber music, session work, collaboration across different genres (classical/fusion/folk and world music), improvisation, cross-art projects, musical comedy and making music accessible to a wide audience.

I play for a variety of orchestras and bands as well as teaching violin.

I have performed internationally and at many prestigious venues in the UK including the Royal Albert Hall, the Barbican Centre, St. John's Smith Square, and the Bridgewater Hall. I enjoy a varied freelance career.

My work includes collaborations with instrumentalists, singers, orchestras, and pop groups, both for live performances and recording work. I founded my own quartet and trio string band that is doing well.
