He has conducted the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, Canberra Symphony Orchestra, Darwin Symphony Orchestra, Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, and West Australian Symphony Orchestra. In the community sector, he is particularly proud of his engagements with Willoughby Symphony Orchestra and Northern Rivers Symphony Orchestra. His numerous youth ensemble credits include Queensland Youth Orchestras, University of Queensland Symphony Orchestra, and Sussex Youth Chamber Orchestra.
