From 1999, he lived and worked for 19 years as the concertmaster of the Orquesta Ciudad de Granada in Spain. Before returning to Germany in 2012, he also served as a guest lecturer in chamber music at the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya in Barcelona.

Over the years, he has developed a diverse freelance career, collaborating as a guest concertmaster with leading European orchestras. In this role, he has worked with renowned conductors including Emmanuel Krivine, Philippe Herreweghe, Eiji Oue, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Leif Segerstam, and Joseph Swensen.

His successful career as a soloist, chamber musician, and concertmaster is evidenced by numerous recordings for RTVE Spain and prize-winning CD productions for the Harmonia Mundi label. His chamber music partners have included Bernard Gregor-Smith, Florent Bremond, Giordano Antonelli, and Graham Jackson.
