Premieres of his work have been performed by ensembles such as Musica Nova(Israel), Israel Contemporary Players, The Jerusalem Symphony, Jack Quartet(NYC), WasteLAnd(LA), The Sound ensemble(Seattle), Ninth Planet(SF) and others. He completed his DMA in music composition at the University of California, Santa Cruz where he worked with Larry Polansky, Michelle Lou and David Evan Jones.
