Delighted to share my upcoming recital at @lichfieldfest this summer, alongside pianist @harvey.davies64 đś
Iâm very pleased to be part of this yearâs Young Artist Series, presenting a solo recital in this classical festival setting.
In this recital, the euphonium steps forward as storyteller, dancer and singer. It moves between bold contemporary writing and lyrical Romantic song, through playful dance and moments of stillness and reflection. Itâs a journey across different styles and moods, from classical favourites to modern works, all seen through the voice of the euphonium.
Programme:
Nakahashi â TOCcatA
FaurĂŠ â Après un rĂŞve
Meechan â Devilâs Duel
AlfvĂŠn â Vallflickans Dans
Hummel â Fantasy for Euphonium & Piano
Deddos â Rabecando
Mahler â Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen
Sparke â Harlequin
Really looking forward to exploring this music at Lichfield, more details and tickets to follow soon.
Tickets are now available! đď¸
Really excited for this one â a rare chance to bring the euphonium to a classical concert stage, and thereâs no better piece to do it with than the Cosma Concerto.
Looking forward to working with @chrisjbinns and the @stockportsymphony on this programme. If youâve never heard euphonium with orchestra live, this is your moment⌠it doesnât come around often!

Had a wonderful time tutoring at the @deutsche_euphoniumtage in Plochingen đś
Great to see so much enthusiasm, curiosity, and openness to different ideas. Really enjoyed making music together and sharing thoughts throughout the weekend.
Big thanks to @klemens.euphonium for the invitation, it was a real pleasure to be part of it! Hope to see many of you around soon.
Loved every second of playing in the Brucknerhaus for the European Soloist Competition in Linz! đŚđš
Hereâs a clip from Song of the Brother by Erik LeidzĂŠn, brilliantly accompanied by @cornelia.woegerer .
Big congrats to everyone whoâs made it through, bring it on in round two! đŞđś
What a weekend in Ireland with the crew! đŽđŞ
From a brilliant audience on Saturday night to thousands lining the streets for the parade (even through a proper hailstorm!), I loved every second in Limerick.
It was also great meeting inspiring people along the way: Andrew, doing fantastic work with musicians from beginners to professionals, and Liam, whose generosity made the whole trip possible.
Irelandâs amateur music scene is clearly thriving. Hopefully it wonât be long until the next visit! đş

Ich freue mich darauf, Teil dieses starken Netzwerks von Euphonistinnen und Euphonisten zu sein, Impulse weiterzugeben und gemeinsam musikalisch zu arbeiten. Vielen Dank an @klemens.euphonium fĂźr die Einladung!
Im Anschluss geht es nach Linz zum European Brass Band Soloist Competition. Ich wurde gemeinsam mit 18 herausragenden Blechblas- und Schlagzeug-Solisten aus ganz Europa ausgewählt und werde dort Song of the Brother, Symphonic Variants und Venice spielen.

Great focus, open atmosphere, and lots of strong ensemble moments.

My musical review of 2025
2025 felt like a year of change: busy, sometimes uncertain, but full of music that mattered.
Numbers: - Concerts: 43 - Contests: 6 - Countries: đ´ó §ó ˘ó Ľó Žó §ó żđ´ó §ó ˘ó łó Łó ´ó żđŠđŞđŞđ¸đŽđš
One moment that meant a great deal to me was November in Ăstringen: a two-day workshop followed by a full concert from memory. It brought together the things I care about most: performing, teaching, sharing ideas, reconnecting with the German scene, and above all, helping people find their own voice on the euphonium.
2025 Highlights included: - recording contemporary, underplayed repertoire with piano (coming to YouTube) - winning the RNCM concerto competition, with performances ahead in Stockport and Lichfield - reaching the RNCM Gold Medal final once again - placing 2nd in the ITEC Solo Euphonium Artist Division in Spain
Each of these stretched me in different ways, and Iâm grateful for everyone who supported and played alongside me this year.
Teaching has also become an important part of my musical life. I now work regularly with around ten students, and I really value the musical conversations that happen there: exploring musicality, phrasing, sound, and learning to talk about music musically while helping players practise more efficiently and become more independent.
It wasnât always straightforward, and there were plenty of unknowns, but this year helped me understand much more clearly what matters to me artistically.
Looking ahead, 2026 will be my first full year as a freelance musician, with lots of solo performances and travelling ahead, as well as more opportunities to share ideas through workshops and teaching. Iâm excited to see where it leads!
If youâre looking for a soloist or workshop leader, Iâd love to hear from you!
