He started his concert career early, as a student of the Academy of Performing Arts he collaborated with a number of chamber and symphony orchestras and the Kühn Children's Choir. In 1995, he founded the Berg Orchestra and it was he who created the concept of the ensemble's musical direction – his creative ideas and suggestions for interesting projects are a constant and invaluable asset to the orchestra. Thanks to him, the Berg Orchestra is today appreciated as a unique performer of 20th century music and contemporary classical music.
