Based in Manchester since 2023, Felicity has conducted The Hallé and The Manchester Camerata and will conduct a studio performance and recording with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra in June of E. Smyth’s Overture to ‘The Boatswain's Mate’ and B. Martinů’s Violin Concerto No.1 with soloist, Kryštof Kohout.

Felicity has also worked with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra as an Assistant Conductor. With these orchestras she has assisted renowned conductors such as Vasily Petrenko, Anja Bihlmaier (including at the BBC Proms in the summer of 2024), John Storgårds, Ben Gernon and Samy Moussa on a variety of projects.

Her reputation as a good assistant means that this season she has also been asked to assist Agata Zając for a side-by-side project between The Hallé and students from the Royal Northern College of Music and Euan Shields for a side-by-side project between The Hallé and The Hallé Youth Orchestra.

With a commitment to engaging new audiences, Felicity was delighted to undertake a project with Chetham’s School of Music in December 2024 where she worked with one of their orchestras and presenter, Linton Stephens to perform five concerts for families and schools with live music to film with narration. This summer, Felicity will conduct the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra in four performances in different schools in Greater Manchester as part of their ‘Schools’ Tour’. The programme will consist of music from ‘BBC Ten Pieces’ and provide an important opportunity for young people to access live music.

In July 2024, having been an Assistant Conductor since 2019, Felicity took over as Director and Music Director of the Amadeus Academy, an annual, week-long, summer residential course with a 30-year legacy, aimed at music students and early-career professionals. Felicity will organise and run her first course in July and will give two concerts with the orchestra at the Wiltshire Music Centre and Exeter Cathedral.

A popular choice for community ensembles, Felicity has given concerts with the Blackpool Symphony Orchestra, Leeds Haydn Players, Salford Symphony Orchestra, Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestra and Hayes Symphony Orchestra and rehearsed the Congleton Choral Society, Preston Symphony Orchestra, Settle Orchestra and Sheffield Philharmonic Orchestra in the past year alone. She will conduct the Sale Chamber Orchestra in their Autumn Concert next season.

Felicity has recently taken part in masterclasses with Ed Gardner, Martyn Brabbins, Anthony Hermus, John Storgårds and Nico Pasquet and was a student of Alice Farnham at the Dartington Music Summer School & Festival in 2023.
