Recent performances include the role of “Iago” in Verdi’s Otello with the UNT Symphony Orchestra and the baritone solo in Vaughan Williams’s Five Mystical Songs with the Abilene Philharmonic, both under the direction of Maestro David Itkin. He is the baritone soloist on the Klavier recording of Orff’s Carmina Burana with the University of North Texas Wind Symphony and Grand Chorus under the direction of Eugene Migliaro Corporon.
