He has appeared to critical acclaim in opera, oratorio, and recital in England, Germany, France, Corsica, the United States, and across Canada: "It is almost unbelievable what an effortless, unclouded ray of musical strength this tenor possesses; he mastered his role, using a large spectrum of dynamic range and rich vocal colours."

His recent and upcoming engagements include l'Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, Calgary Philharmonic, Symphony Nova Scotia, Sinfonia da Camera of Champaign Illinois, the Toledo Symphonic Chorus, and the Bavarian Chamber Opera.
