My communication with Rocco was good and the feedback from the mourners and the professionals conducting the funeral was all good. They said his playing was excellent and they were really happy with how it all went on the day.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

The variety of styles I am comfortable with. It comes from years performing in all sorts of venues and settings.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Royal Albert Hall Royal Birmingham Conservatoire CBSO Centre Birmingham Alexandra Palace Roundhouse Landmark Hotel The Lanesborough The Londoner Royal Northern College of Music Manchester RAK studios The Grove Intercontinental Hotel Paradiso (Amsterdam) Melkweg (Amsterdam) Bimhuis (Amsterdam)

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

John Williams Danny Elfman Gustav Mahler Quincy Jones Sammy Nestico Franz Waxman

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

I have recorded the symphonic orchestra for Oscar Winning director Luca Guadagnino. A documentary about Salvatore Ferragamo e the tv series "We are who we are". A phenomenal Symphonic Orchestra with some of the best session players in London and a great recording team.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I am rather flexible and i am confident we will find the way to reschedule. I am a freelancer, the nature of my job is quite flexible. If no external professional has been booked and paid for, I am more than happy to adjust to the needs of my customers.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

I am a conductor, I don't think you want a DJ set before or after. But I am very keen to expand the orchestral language to include electronic music, pop and DJs too. I have plenty of experience as a Jazz Orchestra conductor and as a funk/soul leader.

How much time do you need to set up?

It depends on the job I am required to do. If a symphony orchestra needs to be recorded, there will be a team of people taking care of it. The job of a conductor is to be ready for the session, and that takes months. Normally, most of my work involves preparing scores for the session or compose.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Of course you can. With preparation and planning, I am happy to conduct or compose in any style. I have a broad experience in a variety of musical styles, you can hear some of my work in the media section.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, I will take care of all the scores and all the equipment for the session. I can also help to find the recording space and the recording team more suitable for the session. I am also in touch with a huge number of amazing music professionals around London. From session musicians to technicians and other support, I am more than hapy to help.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Of course. If I know ahead of time, I am happy to prepare any score for the recording or the performance. I have lots of experience in a variety of musical styles, I am sure I am able to learn any score.
