As an experienced singer, Julian has high aspirations for developing the all-round musicianship of the
Durham Singers. He is keen to take on new challenges, expanding the choir's repertory, especially in the
Renaissance, romantic and twentieth-century periods. He is seeking out new collaborations with composers and
visiting conductors.
