This is not the beginning,
But it is the start.
The start of something new,
Something that’s been on its way for a long time.
This is the past.
This is the future.
This is… now.
It’s not just about the moments,
It’s about the moments between.
The space.
The time.
The emptiness.
It’s always creating,
Always making.
Life is frantic,
Just breathe.
Let the beauty in.
I Dare you.
This project has been in the works for years and it was an incredible feeling this week to see all the ideas and plans coming together. This is the start of something @kaleidoscopeorchestra 🔥
I had the best time conducting Cream Classical In The Park on Saturday! Huge thanks to Tim Crooks for entrusting me with conducting duties. And massive love to Paul and Russ @wearekklass for continuing to build these incredible shows. Massive thanks to @ameritzmusicltd (especially Lewis and Rob) for all their hard work. Huge love to my @kaleidoscopeorchestra family, the fantastic singers @senseofsoundsingers - all the production staff @intheparkpresents , tech crew and everyone involved behind the scenes who worked so hard to put on such an awesome weekend. And lastly a massive thank you to @cream_official
I can’t explain how grateful I am to the people who continue to give us the platform to push the boundaries of orchestral music, introducing it to new audiences and proving that classical music is cool as F**K! 🥳🙌❤️
I haven’t been as nervous as I was before this show, for years. And I probably haven’t felt this amount of gratitude, satisfaction and excitement in my career for a number of years either. Being out of your comfort zone is usually the best way to move forward, and although it feels agonisingly uncomfortable at the time, it is so worth it!! Highly recommend it.

Hard to put into words how incredible this felt! Sunday night we celebrated the launch of Moments Between, the new @kaleidoscopeorchestra album, which I’ve been working on since 2023. The idea for this style of show came in December 2022, and to see it come together is insane!! It’s been so much hard work, so much time spent out of my comfort zone and it truly feels like I was meant to do this.
Huge thank you to @caitlinpycroft for your support, encouragement and love throughout it all!
A massive thanks to @rhiannonfallows for believing in the vision and making things happen.
And to the musicians, technicians, venues and promoters who’ve helped us on this journey so far - thank you for your trust! 🙏❤️
This is just the beginning.

Mad proud of this one. It was SO windy! How the drone and mic both coped so well, I’ve no idea. So on this fact alone, you should book a ticket to come see @kaleidoscopeorchestra at @theyard_mcr on 26th April! 🎟️ 🎵
