He frequently conducts major orchestras internationally and is recognised for his work with composers such as Sibelius and Mahler. His approach emphasizes a close connection to the score while allowing for expressive nuance.

Auckland Town Hall, opened in 1903, is a significant heritage building and a primary performance venue in Auckland central business district. Designed by architects Parr, Finch & Lamb, it showcases Edwardian Baroque style architecture and features a grand concert chamber renowned for its acoustics. Originally conceived as a municipal building housing council chambers alongside performance spaces, it has evolved primarily into a venue for concerts, conferences, and civic events. The hall underwent substantial restoration work completed in 2011 to enhance its facilities and preserve its historical character. It is registered by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga as a Category 1 Historic Place.
