A highly experienced performer, director, and voice teacher, Duncan has worked across theatre, radio, and television.

His skill and success in the performing arts has led to many collaborations, including working as a director for New York cabaret legend Steve Ross, also producing two recordings: I Remember Him Well – The Songs of Alan J. Lerner and the award-winning album, Good Thing Going – The Songs of Stephen Sondheim.
Currently, he has an ongoing teaching relationship with orchestral musicians from The Orquesta Nacional de España (Spanish National Orchestra), bringing his expertise and sensitivity to professional instrumentalists seeking greater ease and expression in their playing.
Duncan was part of the CTC team at the Berlin Congress (2022) and is delighted to be coming to Dublin to further share his experience of the Carringtons’ unique teaching legacy.
