As a chamber musician, he has worked with such talented artists as Emanuel Ax, Lisa Batiashvili, Measha Brueggergosman, Corey Cerovsek, Michael Collins, Sol Gabetta, David Garrett, Nelson Goerner, Ilya Gringolts, Gary Hoffman, Angelika Kirchschlager, Lawrence Power, Dmitry Sitkovetsky, Sayaka Shoji, Kirill Troussov & Tatjana Vassiljeva.

Together, they will perform Mozart's Sonata for violin and piano in A major de Mozart, and Sarasate's Spanish dances. They will also play his most famous work, Zigeunerweisen, composed for violin and orchestra in 1878. As far as Beethoven is concerned, they will play his Sonata for violin and piano No. 9 in A major, the "Kreutzer Sonata", the composer's best-known – and longest – sonata for violin and piano.
