about me
I am a passionate and versatile clarinettist from West Sussex, enthusiastic about learning and
performing in a variety of genres. I graduated from Trinity Laban in 2021 with First Class Honours, and in 2024
completed my Master of Music degree at the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Frankfurt am Main, graduating with Distinction.
I grew up performing with the West Sussex and East Sussex Music Centres, performing
nationally and internationally with their Youth Orchestras, Wind Orchestras and Big Bands. I
subsequently went onto study music at Conservatoire, during which time I performed
alongside the University of London Symphony Orchestra, as well as
with professional orchestra Kidenza, which gave me my first taste in the profession.
Whilst living and studying in Frankfurt, I became an active freelance musician,
regularly being invited to perform with several professional orchestras, including the London Concert
Orchestra, Deutsche Philharmonie Merck, the Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra and the City of London
Sinfonia at Opera Holland Park. As well as orchestral playing, I made my solo concerto debut with the
Horsham Symphony Orchestra in 2021, performing Jean Françaix's Clarinet Concerto, and have performed as
a chamber and orchestral musician in various festivals, including the Brighton Fringe, Minehead Music
Festival, and the Kraków International Festival of Composers, Poland.
As a passionate music teacher, I taught various students with London Music Centre, and completed an invaluable placement at Junior Trinity, working with young
musicians. I also worked with West Sussex Music in 2021-2022, teaching students in single and
group lessons, whilst assisting in their youth orchestras, where I took sectional rehearsals and occasionally led full
rehearsals. I was also the clarinet tutor for their founding year of “Tomorrow’s Orchestral Program” which combined instrumental lessons and an orchestra rehearsal every
week, designed to fast-track beginners.
Immediately following my studies in Germany, I won the KlarinettePraktikant position with the Philharmonisches Orchester Gießen, with whom I performed regularly for their 2024-2025 season.
Now having returned to the UK, I wish to continue developing into a broadened musician, further expanding my repertoire and experience as a solo, chamber and orchestral clarinettist,
whilst also continuing to perform in a freelance capacity both in my home country and abroad.
