He has performed in the United States, Canada, England, Italy, France, Germany, Greece, Russia, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, China, and Australia in venues such as Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, Merkin Concert Hall, Dag Hammarskjöld Hall at the United Nations, Moscow Conservatory Hall, Verona Philharmonic Hall, the Singapore Esplanade and the Seymour Centre.
