I am a guitarist, composer and music teacher based in Christchurch, New Zealand. I studied classical guitar performance at the New Zealand School of Music with Matthew Marshall and Dr Jane Curry, and graduated with a BMus in 2012. My compositions were first published by SOUNZ in 2019, and they have been performed by a number of musicians throughout New Zealand. I won prizes for my performances of my own compositions at the Biennial New Zealand Classical Guitar Competition in 2018 and 2020, and I won the NZAG award in 2020. I played in a duo with pianist Sunny Cheng in 2020, and we performed Westlake’s ‘Antarctica’, Tedesco’s ‘Fantasia’, and a duet I composed for guitar and piano. I played in a guitar duo with Nick Price in 2022, and we arranged, performed and filmed Debussy’s Suite Bergamasque. Cameron Sloan and I gave a concert in Christchurch in 2023, and we performed our own compositions for guitar duo. I’ve given many solo performances and recitals throughout New Zealand, playing my own compositions as well as standard repertoire.
