Born in Melbourne, Australia, he was taught the instrument by his father and went on to study music at the Royal College of Music in London. He has since toured many countries playing solo and with orchestras. He has also appeared regularly on radio and television - and, of course, his music is familiar to many filmgoers, most notably The Deerhunter (Cavatina).
