Jonathan* has conducted and coached youth orchestras and ensembles for Enfield Music Service, Enfield Grammar School, Ashmole Academy and MiSST (Music in Secondary Schools Trust), where he is currently Director of the MiSST Music Academy. Jonathan's conducting with MiSST has seen him work alongside Nicola Benedetti and Wynton Marsalis; feature on the UK's flagship arts TV programme 'The South Bank Show'; lead a joint-orchestra Play Day at Chetham's School of Music; work with London-based pro/amateur ensemble the Pico Orchestra in a joint concert at Cadogan Hall; and perform to a sold out London Palladium and Queen Elizabeth Hall.
