Since then he has played regularly with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Scottish Opera, Scottish Ballet, Scottish Concert Orchestra, Royal Northern Sinfonia, and Red Note Ensemble, and has been a guest player with groups including Hebrides Ensemble, Ensemble Modern, Chineke!, The Wallace Collection, and Le Concert Olympique. He is a member of the GRIT Orchestra and the Rookh Quartet, and one of the ensemble for Joanna Nicholson’s Aud the Deep-Minded.
