Lachlan completed his 4th year of study at Auckland University in 2009 where he finished his Bachelor of Music (honours) with first class honours. Prior to this he held a position as a double bass intern with the Auckland Philharmonia in 2007, after which he began a professional freelancing career performing with all of the professional orchestras in New Zealand.
