In 1995 he formed the Anton Bruckner Choir, one of the most highly regarded choirs in London, and the Anton Bruckner Orchestra. In 1997 he was appointed interim conduction of Imperial College Choir.
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.

He has been Music Director of Dorking Camerata since 2003. The Newbury Symphony orchestra selected him as Chief Conductor in 2004.
The orchestra was pleased to welcome Edmund 'Mike' Jones as our leader in 2006. He started his performing career as violinist with the Northern Sinfonia and later the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic orchestra. Subsequently he was appointed leader of the West Riding String Quartet resident at the University of Leeds. 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.
