During his studies he already worked as a pianist and conductor with ensembles such as the Neue Opernbühne Berlin and the INBOCCALLUPO ensemble. An assistantship with Fabio Luisi brought the conductor to the Salzburg Festival in 2002, with which he remained associated (most recently as choral director) until 2007. In 2003, the German Music Council accepted him into the Conductors' Forum sponsorship program, and he participated in master classes given by Roberto Paternostro and Peter Gülke.

Other engagements have taken him to the Leipzig Opera, the Komische Oper Berlin, the Cologne Opera House, the Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe and the Graz Opera House, among others. For many years he was also musical director of the Young Philharmonic Orchestra of Niedersachsen. In recent years he has conducted the Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra, the MDR Symphony Orchestra Leipzig, the Colombian National Orchestra Bogotá, the Berlin Symphony Orchestra and the State Orchestra Kassel.
