His work includes appearances on the TV series “Mozart in the Jungle,” a longstanding partnership with Giorgio Armani – who designed his Mozart album cover and performances at high-profile events like France's Bastille Day, the Nobel Prize Concert in Stockholm, and the BBC Proms, showcasing his broad influence on the classical music scene.
