He has performed numerous solo and chamber debut recitals in such venues as Carnegie Hall, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Jordan Hall, Merkin Hall, Spivey Hall, and the Philharmonic in Bratislava.Since moving to Sydney in 2023, he has performed and partnered with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Piano Plus, Musica Viva, and the Sydney Writers’ Festival.
