His expertise spans organ performance, historical practices, and choral conducting, with recordings featuring works by Dupré, Franck, and contemporary composers like Huw Watkins and Gabriel Jackson.
Education: Studied organ at Methodist College Belfast with Desmond Hunter, earned a scholarship to the RCM under Nicholas Danby, and pursued postgraduate studies at the Sweelinck Conservatorium (Amsterdam), and with Naji Hakim (Paris) and Peter Planyavsky (Vienna). Research interests include contemporary organ repertoire, improvisation, and early performance practices.
