In 2022 he was appointed as the conductor and host of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra.[6]
Prior to that he conducted the Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide,[7][8][9] West Australian,[10] Tasmanian, Queensland and Canberra symphony orchestras, the Auckland Philharmonia, and the Hong Kong Philharmonic[11] and Malaysian Philharmonic orchestras.[12][13]
