My musical journey has been long, varied and very enjoyable – a great learning and creative experience taking me from the folk guitarist in my teens to the composer of music for choirs, musical theatre, soloists and piano in my 60s.
My songs deal with relevant topics for today – themes about war and conflict, refugees and persecution, family, identity and the quest for our dreams and a better world. My Opera ‘A Better World’ tells the story of a family’s journey from displacement and persecution to a new and better life.
The music is difficult to categorise. That is something I leave to the singer and listener. Please read some of their views in the column to the right and a published review from the National Association of Choirs Newsletter – menu page 3.
I am ready to tell my story and to share & promote my music in this very competitive world. Have a listen to six pieces of my music below and then read on where there is information about my works and more pieces of music to listen to.
