I'm a 'people person'. I work with integrity and creative experience, and with attention to detail, whether the project demands solo piano, small ensemble, or a full orchestra.
Considered a pianist/keyboard player/accompanist of very high standard, I also have many years experience as a theatre/dance accompanist. I hold British/Canadian passports and am fluent in English and French.
