I am a second year music undergraduate at Sussex University studying composition with Martin Butler, Sam Hayden and Ed Hughes. I have had my music performed at the Aldeburgh Festival, St Michael’s Church in Framlingham, King’s College, Cambridge and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. I majored in composition under Michael Christie at Junior Guildhall. I recently won a three year Thomas Beecham scholarship. In April 2008 my string orchestra piece ‘Stained Glass’ was performed by the National Youth Strings Accademy conducted by Damien Iorio at Woodbridge School. I have had works played by the New London Chamber Ensemble, The Yeats Trio, Young Musician of the Year finalist Erdem Misirlioglu, Classical star finalist Jeanine Thorpe, Joanna Songi and Kate Whitley.
