Er nahm an einer Reihe internationaler Festivals teil, beispielsweise dem Verbier Festival in der Schweiz, dem kanadischen Banff Festival, dem Festival International d’Art Lyrique d’Aix-en-Provence, dem Lucerne Festival und einigen israelischen Festivals teil. Einladungen als Konzertmeister erfolgten vom Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala, dem Orchestra Mozart sowie der Camerata Accademica Salzburg.
