Together with the pianist Malcolm Martineau, he has devised and presented various recital series at St. John’s Smith Square in London and in 1992 joined the music staff of Westminster Abbey as Director of Music at St Margaret’s Church, the Parliament Church, where he directs a professional choir and a boys’ choir. Since that time he has directed the music for various national and royal occasions, both at St Margaret’s and in the Abbey.
