He has arranged and composed for symphony orchestra, jazz ensembles, theatre, choirs, African groups and has an international reputation combining Western and Southern African music and musicians. He performs professionally on trumpet, trombone, bass trombone, sackbut, euphonium and tuba, and runs the William Haubrich Brass Studio on the international SoundBetter platform.
