He has made many recital and concerto appearances in Britain and abroad including at the BBC Proms, and has performed both Szymanowski’s violin concertos with the BBC SO. He has recorded the Panufnik violin concerto with London Musici and the Stravinsky violin concerto with the Philarmonia, as well as Fauré and Brahms sonatas with Caroline Palmer, and piano trios of Panufnik, Twardowski and Malawski.

He has been guest leader of orchestras such as the London Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra of Europe and London Sinfonietta, and is a member of the London Mozart Trio.

He has given master classes throughout Britain as well as USA, Poland and Germany. A teacher at the Purcell School, he has taught in the senior and junior departments of the Guildhall School since 1982.
