Welcome

I am a London-based conductor. Since September 2018 I have been Director of Music at The Purcell School having been Music Director of Rambert from 1996-2018. I hope this site will give you some sense of the range of my work, experience and repertoire. For more information, please contact me!

LIFE IS A DREAM, Sadler’s Wells

The score, a meaty salad of five works by Witold Lutoslawski, was magnificently played by Paul Hoskins and the Rambert Orchestra. Louise Levene, Financial Times 24 May 2018

The music, by Witold Lutosławski, has a tangled intensity… handsomely played by Rambert’s orchestra, it gives an urgency to the fragmented action. Zoe Anderson, Independent 24 May 2018
