He has been heard in recital in much of the U.S., Japan and China. Recent appearances include a concert tour of Spain, a concert tour of China, and the opening Gala at the Taubman and Newport Festivals, and a recital at La Roque d'Anthéron festival in August. Upcoming engagements in the 2003-2004 season include two concerts in Japan and the grand opening concert of the new Shanghai Conservatory Hall in September, another concert tour in China during October, and concerto engagements with the Winnipeg and Richmond Symphonies and the National Spanish Orchestra.
