About Me
Having recently completed my Masters in Music Performance degree at Cardiff University, I am committed to a professional career as a freelance performer. Having performed regularly in orchestras from the age of ten, I bring over a decade of experience and passion to every performance I give. A seasoned orchestral musician, I have performed extensively in Wales and England and for international audiences in Germany and China.
I am a self-motivated individual, using my organisational skills in curating Concerts, managing and directing multiple ensembles, and leading music workshops for primary school children. Having studied studio technology for three years at University, I also produce studio compositions and perform as a session musician for others.
