I’m an experienced performer of opera, oratorio, and concert repertoire, both as a soloist and in collaboration with other musicians. I’ve performed across Britain, Italy and Australia working with some exceptional conductors and directors of opera and repetiteurs. I’ve been teaching singing since 2000, and in 2006 I shifted my focus from performing to dedicate more time to teaching and composition. Here are some highlights from way back then..
