For three years (2008-2011), he was also the conductor of the McMaster University Flute Ensemble. His principal collaborator, both on-stage and off, is pianist Dr. Carolyn Herrington. As a performer, as in his scholarship, he has a deep interest in music of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and has been involved in the premiere performances of several new works.
