As a classical violinist, he has performed as a substitute violinist with orchestras such as the Madison Symphony Orchestra, the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, the Camerata Chicago, Orchestra Iowa, the Newark-Granville Symphony Orchestra, and the New World Symphony.

Additionally, he can be heard on the “Mists of Ennistymon” CD, recorded by Dannsair. Harking back to his Jewish roots, he has performed as a Klezmer musician in venues such as the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester, NY.
