His uses of the cello in popular genres have garnered him critical acclaim in the New York Times and Variety. He has also appeared as concerto soloist and principal cellist with many NY orchestras and performed solo recitals at many venues including Lincoln Center. His workshop, "Setting the Cello Free" focuses on the skill sets neccesary to bring cello into the realms of music most often associated with less formal classical work, particularly those associated with working with contemporary singer/songwriters.
