BBC Singers debut

I was delighted to make my conducting debut with the BBC Singers at the Temple Winter Festival on 15 December 2017. The concert, which was broadcast live on BBC Radio 3, explored Christmas carols by leading 21st-century composers of choral music, including works by Judith Bingham, Joanna Marsh, Carl Rutti and Howard Skempton. The concert concluded with a performance of my carol, Tomorrow shall be my dancing day.
