In September 2023 I started my first year studying a the
Royal Danish Academy of Music as part of their Advanced post-graduate Diploma class (Solistklasse) in Orchestral conducting. I'm very excited to be receiving tuition from Giordano Bellincampi, Johannes Schlaefli, Michael Schønvandt, Christian Kluxen and Henrik Van
Christensen in my first year at the RDAM.
