​As a chamber musician, Pam is a member of the NeoElysian Trio, an ensemble specialising in 20th- and 21st-century repertoire that won the Brodsky Chamber Prize at the RNCM. She also performs regularly as an accompanist, particularly with singers and instrumentalists, and was awarded the RNCM’s Alexander Young Piano Prize for Accompaniment. An avid orchestral pianist, she has performed with the Alderley Edge Symphony Orchestra and the RNCM Wind Orchestra.

In addition to performing, Pam is actively involved in music education. She has worked with ExCathedra to deliver music sessions for young children at Symphony Hall, Birmingham, and undertook placements with the National Children’s Orchestra of Great Britain. She has also taught piano at Alma Park Primary School and assisted with One Education Music's programme at Chorlton High School. From 2023 to 2024, she served on the ABRSM Youth Advisory Board, contributing to initiatives that supported young musicians and music education. Beyond her educational work, Pam is passionate about using music to support health and wellbeing. She has volunteered with String of Hearts, an organisation that connects older adults through music in healthcare settings and home visits, supporting individuals who are socially isolated or unable to leave their homes due to health conditions. She also plays occasionally at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, Europe’s largest single-site cancer centre.
