Bold new encounters with
classical music
Developing new concert experiences for orchestras, choirs, artists, festivals and venues
How I can help you
-
Through story-led programming or the wider creative direction of even bolder projects, I can help you forge experiences that attract new audiences and engage them with classical music in a meaningful way.
My creative direction of Southbank Sinfonia’s #ConcertLab series has attracted an entirely new audience to the orchestra - and was shortlisted for an RPS Award. Other projects have included collaborations with the Postal Museum, the composer/performer Errollyn Wallen, Spitalfields Music Festival and Cheltenham Music Festival.
-
I can help you stand out in a busy world, creating high quality films and innovative digital strategies.
Working across scales from symphony orchestras to venues to individual artists, I have shot and edited performance films, teaser trailers, documentaries and projections to the highest standards.
Recent clients include The Sixteen, Dunedin Consort, Errollyn WaIlen, the Royal Philharmonic Society and Kings Place. I work with 4k Sony cameras, from small scale shoots to multi-camera sessions with a larger crew. Please get in touch if you’d like to discuss an upcoming project.
-
I lead workshops for artists and managers on audience development, new approaches to performance, and the creation of effective digital and communications strategies.
Clients have included Britten Pears Arts, YCAT, Freiburger Barockorchester, Royal Holloway University of London and Southbank Sinfonia’s annual fellowship programme.
-
Using my experience in creative direction and arts marketing, I can help you to shape creative, communications and digital strategies that can boost your organisation.
Consultancy clients have included the National Trust, Orchestras for All, and Hofesh Shechter Company.

“Audience involvement in this concert was like nothing I’d ever experienced. Initially mesmerized, we soon began to wander, enchanted by the unfolding music that seemed to guide our movement in the room. ”
