Chris is the Founder and Artistic Director of the Latitude Ensemble and is working on a second collaboration with Egyptian visual artist Dina Negm on a multimedia experience for the UN International Day of Peace 2019. In addition to his performing career he believes passionately in music education and holds the Trumpet Teacher position at The Leys School.

Chris graduated with an MMus in Solo Performance from the Royal Northern College of Music, MMus in Conducting from the University of British Columbia and a BMus (Hons) from Te Kōkī New Zealand School of Music. Chris received an endorsement for exceptional talent from Arts Council England in 2017, enabling him to return to the UK to pursue his career. Having first been invited to conduct the Salford Symphony Orchestra in 2016 and then twice in 2018 (which included the Charity Concert with the Ayoub Sisters), and March of this year, Chris is thrilled to be directing this performance.
