conductor, organist, countertenor
I am a British-American musician who has been active on both sides of the Atlantic as a conductor, music educator, organist, and countertenor. I have been newly appointed to two positions in Miami, Florida. The first is as Director of Choirs & School Organist at Palmer Trinity School. There, I will direct three choirs, grades 6--12, and play the organ for chapel services, concerts, graduation, and other special events. In addition, I will be the Organist & Choir Director at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in downtown Miami.
​
These two appointments follow after a wide range of achievements across several musical disciplines. Most recently, I was based in Connecticut, where I was Director of Music & Organist at St. Matthew’s, Wilton. I have also held similar positions at parishes in Berea, Ohio, and Jenkintown, Pennsylvania.
​
As a countertenor, I have sung with numerous top-tier ensembles. In the UK, I was a permanent member of The Gesualdo Six, with whom I toured the UK and Europe and produced a number of commercial recordings. I was also a Gentleman of the Choir of HM Chapel Royal, Hampton Court Palace. I have also performed with Tenebrae, the Voces8 Foundation Choir, TENET Vocal Artists, Bach Vespers NYC, and many other professional groups.
​
With music education at the heart of my career, I have held teaching jobs at several schools. In the UK, I was on the music staff at the King’s School Rochester—the world’s second oldest school—and at The Frances Bardsley Academy for Girls in East London. In Connecticut, I taught music for Wilton Public Schools.
​
During the COVID lockdowns of 2020, I produced virtual, multitrack recordings of some of my favorite pieces of music. These videos, including Pearsall’s Lay a garland and Purcell’s Sound the trumpet, gathered hundreds of thousands of views and cultivated a sizeable following on social media. My multitracking efforts culminated with Tallis’ Virtual Voice: a project sponsored and conceived by the Thomas Tallis Society in which I recorded all 40 parts of Spem in alium, the Renaissance masterpiece by Thomas Tallis.
​
I earned my Master of Music in Choral Conducting from Westminster Choir College (Princeton, New Jersey), where I was the Graduate Assistant Conductor for the flagship ensemble Westminster Choir. I am also a proud alumnus of Baldwin Wallace Conservatory of Music (Berea, Ohio), where I earned a Bachelor of Music in Music Theory, with a Conducting Emphasis.
