His numerous concert performances include Haydn’s Creation with Boston Baroque; Achicham in Hiller’s The Destruction of Jerusalem with the American Symphony Orchestra; Mozart’s Mass in C, Requiem, and Mass in C minor with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra; Mozart Requiem with both the Waukegan Symphony and Bach Chorale Singers; as well as Evangelist in Bach’s St. Matthew Passion, Handel’s Utrecht Jubilate and Holst’s Psalm 86 with the Utah Symphony.
