Some of my artistic focus as a performer, arranger, and composer is  on world, traditional and neo-traditional music. As such, I am a member of the trio Papilio, with Anthony Rissesco (fiddle/vocals) and Skip Holmes (guitar), with guest appearances by Alistair Maksym (piano).

In 2023 I became a member of the Halifax Rättvik Project, a new trio exploring the traditional musics of Sweden and Canada and points in between along the North Atlantic. Explore our new website here.

In 2020 I co-founded the group Harpaflöjt, with Kirsty Money, nyckelharpa. We have collaborated with Ellen Gibling, harp, and Alistair Maksym, piano. Our focus is Scandinavian repertoire and beyond.

As a classical orchestral freelancer I have played with such groups as Symphony Nova Scotia, the Stadacona Band, and the Charlottetown Festival Orchestra.

In recent years I have also taken up freelancing on the Baroque flute or traverso, playing in early music settings on replicas of historical flutes in an historically informed manner, with such groups as Rejouissance and the St. George's Consort. Some of my training has been obtained at the Tafelmusik Baroque Summer Institute and the Boxwood Festival. From 2018 to 2021 I served as president of the Early Music Society of Nova Scotia. In 2023 I helped to establish the first annual Halifax Early Music Festival.

My adult kids Alistair Maksym (piano) and Jamie Maksym (harp, step dance) and I also have a group called the Tidewater Trio, playing a mix of traditional, classical, and jazz repertoire for local gigs.
