He has been invited to lead many orchestras including the West end Concert Orchestra, the London Musicians Orchestra and the Manchester Concert Orchestra.

An active chamber musician, Steven's Duo partnership with pianist David Lloyd has flourished over ten years and they appear together in concert throughout the British Isles.
