His conducting career has taken him abroad and from 1999 to 2000 he acted as Assistant Conductor of the internationally acclaimed Budapest Festival Orchestra under Ivan Fischer.

On returning to Britain he assisted Mark Elder at the Halle Orchestra and conducted the Meltdown Ensemble in a televised appearance for the 50th anniversary of the Royal Festival Hall.

Edmund has supplemented this with many solo performances, from a Wigmore Hall recital in their young musicians’ series to performances of much of the violin concerto repertoire with orchestras in the North of England. He now lives in Blewbury and has taught for Berkshire Maestros.
