CLASSICALLY TRAINED, ADAPTED IN THE WILD

I play clarinet and bass clarinet, write music and make things that happen between the worlds of music, theatre and dance. With a background rooted in contemporary classical performance practice and an interest in folk, found sound and ancient resonances, the work I make moves between the seams that tie these elements together.

I’m involved in a wide variety of performance projects, chamber, orchestral and as a soloist. A lot of my work combines audio visual elements, live processing, real-world sound, spoken word, dance and theatre.

Sometimes these projects are large scale tours and sometimes they’re much smaller, intimate events - one-off happenings invented by friends or collaborations coming into being on the hoof.

I have been supported by the Arts Council England National Lottery Project Grants, PRS Open Fund, Transmission Fund (Help Musicians UK), Sound and Music (Seed Award), IVORS, Brighter Sound, Worshipful Company of Musicians and Countess of Munster.

I also teach and run various chamber music and creative courses, and endeavour to remain curious at all times.
