He is a member of the Orchestra of St. Luke’s in New York and concertmaster for Opera Lafayette in Washington D.C., as well as an avid chamber musician and soloist.

He joins Kairos Piano Quartet to perform Schumann’s Piano Quintet in E-flat Major, Op. 44 with Prometheus Quartet performing Brahms’ String Quartet No. 1 in C Minor, Op. 51 No. 1.
