This autumn I will return as guest musician and workshop leader to Dunedin Consort’s incredible Schools Workshop Programme, which brings fantastic opportunities to children who otherwise rarely have the chance to experience classical music.

I am beyond thrilled to have been appointed to the permanent position of Director of Performance & Assistant Professor of Performance at the Department of Music of the University of Nottingham – can’t wait to start in September!

I really look forward to return to Germany to perform with Turnstone Society. Our programme will explore various textures of the air, and it features recorders blended with viol and the brilliant singer, Lisa Solomon.

I can’t wait to perform with Dunedin Consort at the Cheltenham Festival! The ensemble is playing an all JS Bach programme, including two cantatas with the fantastic Hugh Cutting. The performance will be recorded, so in case you miss the live show, you will be able to catch it later on BBC Radio 3.

I am really looking forward to taking part as a coach in the Academy of Ancient Music’s AAMplify programme at the Royal Academy of Music, where we will be working on G. Ph. Telemann’s stunning cantata ‘Du aber, Daniel, gehe hin’ with some hugely talented students.

Scots Baroque is performing its exciting ‘Reflections’ programme as part of the Sypert Summer Concert Series! The performance will take place in the wonderful St Cecilia’s Hall in Edinburgh. 

I look forward to bring to life the role of the ‘Snake’ itself in Dunedin Consort’s new multisensory children’s show, The Enchanted Snake. The production features storyteller Mara Menzies, the artwork of James Abell, and it is directed by Lucia Capellaro. The performances will take place in Cumbernauld Theatre at Lanternhouse.

I look forward to participating in a programme featuring music from Handel’s Roman period with the brilliant soprano Nardus Williams and Dunedin Consort. The performances will take place in Edinburgh, Glasgow, London’s Wigmore Hall, and Saffron Hall.

This March, Scots Baroque is embarking on a tour in Scotland, where we will be playing a diverse programme featuring underrepresented composers, and music spanning multiple centuries and various cultures. Our performances will take place on the Isle of Arran, in Lenzie, and in Penicuik, and they are supported by Chamber Music Scotland.

I can’t wait to perform our debut concert as Turnstone Society – a brand new music collective, led by recorder player Yu-Ching Chao and me. The group centres around our recently completed 11-piece recorder consort by Adrian Brown, and in our first performance, which will take place in Hamburg, we will perform 5-part polyphonic music from the Renaissance. More on the developments of this new group to follow soon!
