As a member of The Choir of Trinity College, Melbourne, he has toured Italy, Ireland and the UK, singing a vast repertoire including the Australian Premiere of Eric Whitacre’s Sacred Veil.

His work also includes forays into cabaret, most notably performances of Discogesang with pianist Stefan Cassomenos as part of the Port Fairy Spring Music Festival.  Recent operatic credits include Chorus and Theseus(cover) in Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Melbourne Conservatorium), Chorus in Melbourne, Cheremushki (Victorian Opera) and Sarastro(cover) in Die Zauberflote (Melbourne Conservatorium).
