He has participated in masterclasses with Dennis O’Neill, Elisabeth Wingfield, Gabriele Fontana, Ira Siff and Vladimir Bouchler. Geoffrey is active all over Europe, mainly as a soloist. He sings Lied, chamber music and oratorio (including Samson and the Messiah by Haendel; Requiem by Mozart, Haydn, Britten; masses by Charpentier, Saint-Saëns, Schubert, Franck, Rossini; Magnificat, Cantatas and  Passions (Evangelist & arias) by Bach and Telemann).
