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.

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!
