He has won numerous awards in various International piano competitions, such as the Milan Cortot, the Barcelona Canals, and the Vercelli Viotti.

Since 1991, he has been a member of the Baynov Piano Ensemble, an original group of European pianists whose reperto ire ranges from single-piano trios to eight-piano duos, wich has garnered unanimous public and critical praise throughout Europe, Canada and China, and with whom he has recorded various CDs and DVDs.
