He was a guest of the Colorado and San Diego Symphony Orchestras and in residency at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts and debuted at the Aspen Music Festival. Additional debuts will be Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, Vancouver Recital Society’s Vancouver Playhouse and the Savannah Music Festival.
