He has appeared in international music festivals such as Orford (Canada), Eleazar de Carvalho (Fortaleza, Brazil), Cascais (Portugal), Saarburg (Germany), Bratislava (Slovakia), and Ljubljana Old Town (Slovenia). Recent performances took him to venues such as Salle Gaveau in Paris, Steinway Hall in New York, and Carnegie Hall’s Isaac Stern Auditorium.

He also appears in two CDs with saxophonist Farrell Vernon, containing works for sopranino saxophone and piano as well as larger ensembles involving these two instruments (Centaur Records).
