At the end of May 2020 during the performance shutdown, I appeared on brand new online music performance platform Live in Sydney accompanied by my friend and collaborator, Sako Dermenjian.
You can catch up on the full interview in the video below and also view my individual performance pieces as well. Thank you to Live in Sydney, Angelica M, Marcel Leon and his team and all the sponsors of the platform for having me on! It was truly a pleasure to interview and perform on this platform.

 CAPTION: The Sydney Conservatorium Chamber Choir singing from home! Who'd have thought a just a few months ago it wouldn't be possible to sing in your local community choir? None of us in the Sydney Conservatorium of Music Chamber Choir saw it coming either. And so, like many choirs, opera choruses, orchestras and chamber music groups across the world, we have attempted to fill the void of regular practice, rehearsal and performance with a homemade recording! Check out the two that I've had fun getting involved with over the last month via the Sydney Conservatorium of Music's 'Con-line Concerts' initiative.  In December 2018 I was invited to be the bass soloist in the Argyle Orchestra & Choir performance of Charpentier's Messe de Minuit at St. David's Cathedral, Hobart. Fortunately, the entire performance was uploaded to YouTube.

It was an incredible experience with a packed cathedral of over 700 in attendance. The orchestra have uploaded the full recording of this concert for all to enjoy - particularly during this time of no public performances. I have outlined below direct links to my recitatives and arias that you can click on to be directed to the exact moment in the videos, though I would encourage you to enjoy the high quality performance from all of my colleagues!

 Read my latest contribution to ClassikOn discussing the moment we’re experiencing right now during COVID-19, the importance of solidarity from within our tight-knit global community and how we can achieve it with projects such as The Musical Solidarity Project.
Just over a week to submit your ‘Va, pensiero’ videos to the project. Take care all and safe safe. Coraggio! Recently, I hosted an Online Recital (art song) with my pianist friend Su Cho. Here I explain our process and discuss how we made the most of gathering an audience and receiving donations from our generous audience. All instructions my opinions and a documentation of my role in the online recital preparation, recording and promotion process. #KeepTheMusicGoing#KeepThe #MusicGoing  Check out my latest review of Consort 8's latest concert for ClassikON. I've recently become an Ambassador for ClassikON and will be attending more concerts to review in the future.
Programs printed for this Tuesday’s exam recital at Sydney Conservatorium of Music. I’m a big believer in ‘love your audience’. Give them everything they need so they have the best experience that you can possibly give them. That’s why I’ve written a 3,700 word program and have had it looked over by experienced program writers and editors. I’ve also been meticulous about its formatting. Audiences deserve to have their intelligence respected and they deserve an engaging performance in all aspects. No matter how large, how small or how seasoned your audience is. Magician Harry Thurston told Dale Carnegie that before every show he would stand behind the curtain repeating to himself ‘I love my audience. I love my audience. I love my audience.’ He wouldn’t think them dumb because they couldn’t work out his tricks. He loved them because they were there seeing his show and making his livelihood possible. THIS is performing. THIS is positivity. Love your audience and hopefully they’ll love you back. And most importantly work hard for them and prepare thoroughly. It’s all on you.
