He is a founding member of the Smithsonian Chamber Players, the Axelrod and Smithson string quartets, the Smithsonian Chamber Orchestra, and the Castle Trio, appears frequently with Anner Bylsma's Archibudelli, and has been a soloist with numerous orchestras, including the National Symphony Orchestra, Baltimore Symphony, and Cleveland Orchestra.
