He specialises in renaissance Spanish and South American Baroque music and also in romantic and contemporary chamber music from Hispanic South America, with a particular specialism in music sung in indigenous languages[3] .

In 2023 this was given its first UK staging in the Grimeborn Opera Festival at the Arcola Theatre. The production was acknowledged for its original contribution to the repertoire [9] [10].
