Marco was originally trained as a clarinettist at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama . Whilst at the RSAMD he formed a student repertoire orchestra and, without any kind of tuition and with little experience, he found himself in possession of an outstanding gift and promptly won the Academy's top conducting prize.

He spent a number of years as a freelance clarinettist and teacher appearing as a conductor with various amateur and professional ensembles and orchestras throughout the UK.

As a musical entrepreneur, devising and performing popular concerts, he has a brilliant touch, bringing music to large audiences and working with some of the UK's top soloists including Julian Lloyd Webber, Lesley Garrett, John Wallace and Denis O'Neill.

Marco's conducting technique is flawless. He has the ability to rehearse even the most complex scores quickly, efficiently and with an authority which instils great confidence in his players. His knowledge of the orchestral repertoire and his interpretational sense is breathtaking. His ability to inspire musicians to give of their best is truly thrilling.

Wherever he works, his gift for communicating with players and audiences alike create performances which are exciting, spontaneous and memorable.
