I am a Lecturer in the Department of Music and Musicology at Rhodes University, having completed undergraduate and postgraduate studies in piano performance and musicology at the University of Cape Town and the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. I am interested in music of the 18th- & 20th- centuries.From April 2018 until February 2022, I served as editor of "British Music: The Journal of the British Music Society (ISSN 0958-5664)". In that role, I attracted experienced researchers and practitioners in the field to either contribute to the publication or serve as referees. An article on the Derbyshire composer John Locke, first published in the 2019 edition of the Journal, was a springboard for an extended outlet of discussion in the long-running periodical known as the "Musical Opinion", thus widening the reach of the scholarship first espoused in "British Music". Furthermore, I established the Journal's essay competition for student researchers in 2019, with the second event taking place in 2021.My own research activity is represented by the presentation of conference papers at the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) in Manchester as well as the Annual Congress of the South African Society for Research in Music (SASRIM); I have also delivered an invited talk on South African Piano Music at the NewMusicSA Indaba which took place at the Nelson Mandela University in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. (NewMusicSA is the South African branch of the International Society for Contemporary Music.) Other outputs have been published by TEMPO (Cambridge University Press), the Journal of the Musical Arts in Africa (Taylor & Francis), and the Royal Musical Association. I have presented lecture recitals on works by Alan Bush (at the University of Cape Town) and on the application of hexachords in Fantasias by Byrd and Froberger (at the RNCM), and have been both speaker and performer in the workshop and lecture recital titled 'Performing and Editing Couperin', part of the RNCM's "François Couperin Day" which was held to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the composer's birth.Active as a recitalist and chamber musician, I have performed on national platforms in South Africa. Venues include the Youngblood Gallery in Cape Town, the South Campus Auditorium at Nelson Mandela University in Port Elizabeth, the North-West University School of Music and Conservatory in Potchefstroom as part of the School's concert series, as well as at the University of Cape Town. In Manchester I have performed at the RNCM's Chamber Music Festival and annual concert series.
