On 11 September, I will perform alongside Jan Waterfield as part of the first Extrasensory: Music Festival in Glasgow. Our programme Reduction and Deconstruction will be accompanied by divine treats prepared by ‘Rum, Egg and Muck’.

I very much look forward to performing on 14 May, as part of this year’s Oxford Early Music Festival! Our programme, Looking at the smaller picture, with the wonderful Jan Waterfield on harpsichord will showcase a variety of Italian diminutions from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

On 4 May, I will appear on BBC Radio 3’s InTune to introduce my upcoming performance in this year’s Oxford Early Music Festival. I will play my own diminutions on Madre non mi far monaca and Doulce memoire. If you miss the live performance, the broadcast will be available on the radio’s website for another month.

What a wonderful way to finish the year! If you happen to be in Hungary, do come along on 30 December to our exciting programme, Bizarre Consonances, which we will perform as part of the Fuga Baroque Festival Budapest.

Very pleased to have become part of the mentoring team for Future Talent, the UK’s flagship charity supporting gifted young musicians from low income backgrounds.

I am glad to have been selected to present my paper A Game of Time: Rhythmic freedom & musical structures in the performance practice of late seventeenth & early eighteenth-century music on the 12th Conference of the Hungarian Musicological Society, focusing on the performance practice, history & theory of the eighteenth century. My presentation will take place on 10 October.

I look forward to a delightful concert of Henry Purcell and John Blow with Michael Chance & co. at the Stour Music Festival on 26 June.

I am pleased to announce that my PhD research project at the University of Glasgow was awarded a full scholarship by the Arts and Humanities Research Council . My research focuses on behavioural attitudes in the performance practice of Italian music during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.

The first edit of our recording project with countertenor Meili Li, cellist Lucia Capellaro and harpsichordist Pawel Siwczak has just arrived. Sounding great so far, we are looking forward to hear the final version. Stay tuned!

The early music ensemble Ars Eloquentiae have been selected to participate in this year’s Brighton Early Music Festival Young Artists scheme. Our programme ‘Sex, lies and violins’ is based on Laurence Sterne’s A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy and features works by Marais, Philidor, Leclair, Corelli and Vivaldi. The performance will be held in the Latest Music Bar on 1 November.
