Sacred and ceremonial music for the moments that matter — performed across Sydney's most extraordinary spaces.
Sacred Music, Beautifully Played.
Ceremony, Considered.
A lifelong musician — at home in cathedral, chapel and concert hall.
I began the piano at four and the violin at five. In 2012 I took up the organ under Bernard Kirkpatrick at St Patrick's Cathedral, Parramatta, rising to Organ Scholar and then Assistant Organist by 2022. Today I serve as Assistant Organist at St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney.
Good music doesn't just accompany a ceremony — it carries it. That conviction shapes every engagement I take on.
From processional to recessional. Sacramental ceremonies, civil weddings and everything between — prepared in close consultation with your celebrant and the music of your choosing.
Dignified, gentle accompaniment for services of remembrance. Traditional hymnody, classical repertoire and personal requests prepared with care.
Refined piano for receptions, dinners, anniversaries and intimate gatherings. Repertoire tailored from classical, jazz and contemporary favourites.
Solo organ and piano recitals for churches, schools and concert venues. Available for festivals, masterclasses and guest engagements throughout Australia.
A small selection from the cathedral loft — recent performances of repertoire close to my heart.
Patrick's playing gave our ceremony a quiet grandeur we will never forget. Calm, generous, and completely on top of every detail.
Tell me a little about your occasion. Every enquiry is read personally, and I aim to reply within forty-eight hours.
