Orchestral Assistant/Manager | Cover Contract at The George Ellis Orchestra

Supported the delivery of six large-scale concert productions across Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, working alongside George Ellis on everything from orchestral administration and music preparation to production coordination and live event management. Managed arrangers, deadlines, revisions, and communications for 12 orchestral arrangements, providing musical feedback on orchestration, notation, readability, and performance practicality. As a composer myself, I was able to bridge the gap between creative and logistical processes, helping move projects from concept to concert stage. Acted as orchestra librarian for ensembles of up to 60 musicians, overseeing score preparation, part management, printing, version control, and rehearsal updates, while maintaining detailed tracking systems to keep multiple projects moving simultaneously. Served as a central point of communication between arrangers, musicians, production teams, external suppliers, Justin Hurwitz and his team during La La Land in Concert, helping coordinate information, troubleshoot challenges, and keep productions running smoothly within a high pressure, live environment. Known for remaining calm under pressure, I regularly stepped into rehearsals and performances to support stage management, solve problems in real time, and ensure both musicians and production teams had what they needed to succeed.

Founding Member/Creative Producer/Performer at The Hullabaloonies

I am a founding member and performer of The Hullabaloonies, a children’s music project created alongside an exceptionally talented group of collaborators. Together, we write, perform, record, and produce original music that blends country with elements of folk, jazz, orchestral, and contemporary styles, designed to engage children aged 3-11 through storytelling, adventurous themes, and sophisticated musical ideas. I co-wrote and performed on our debut album “The Hullabaloonies”, which has been fully recorded and mixed, with a release planned within the next year. My contributions span songwriting, violin, piano, lead and backing vocals, production input, live performance, and involvement across elements of mixing, mastering, branding, and concept development, working closely with my collaborators throughout the creative process. We have performed live at the Music Specialist Creative Project Festival, receiving overwhelmingly positive audience and industry feedback. The project has since attracted interest from Musica Viva Australia and was featured in Limelight Magazine’s “New Creatives: Rising Young Voices in Australian Music” article. I remain deeply involved in shaping the creative direction of the project, while collaboratively exploring pathways for live performance, education-focused engagement, and regional touring.

I liaise directly with the creative team throughout the arrangement process, balancing artistic freedom with practical considerations for rehearsal, performance, and touring logistics. My arrangements have been rehearsed, performed, and toured across Australia with consistently positive reception from audiences and performers.

Violinist at The George Ellis Orchestra

As a violinist with the George Ellis Orchestra, I regularly perform in large-scale contemporary orchestral productions across NSW. These concerts often blend orchestral music with popular repertoire and feature high-profile artists, requiring both stylistic flexibility and a strong sense of ensemble performance. Notable performances include orchestrated productions celebrating artists such as George Michael, The Beatles, Pink Floyd (Dark Side of the Moon), Queen, David Bowie, and Hans Zimmer, as well as appearances at major venues including the State Theatre, ICC Darling Harbour, City Recital Hall, and Canberra Theatre Centre. I’ve also performed at events such as the Greek Festival of Sydney and special productions including Brian Walsh’s Celebration of Life at FOX Studios. Beyond the music itself, I value the performative aspect of live concerts and aim to bring energy, presence, and connection to the stage, contributing to an engaging audience experience as well as a strong musical result!

Audio Technician at Loud & Clear

As a microphone technician, I have worked across live events including corporate functions, student productions, and community theatre. My responsibilities included microphone setup, micing performers, troubleshooting technical issues, and monitoring audio during live performances. The role required efficient bump-in and bump-out of equipment, rapid mic changes, and close teamwork under high-pressure live conditions. This experience gave me a strong understanding of live production environments and reinforced the importance of clear communication, adaptability, and staying calm under pressure.
