He has performed with diverse artists including Leona Mitchell, Will Liverman, Lucy Dhegrae, and his frequent recital partner Gregory Feldmann, with whom he gave his sold-out Weill Hall debut in 2020. In early 2022, he performed Ricky Ian Gordon’s opera Intimate Apparel sixty times at Lincoln Center. His premieres include works by Timo Andres, Nate Wooley, Matthew Ricketts, Molly Joyce, Shawn Jaeger, Iván Rodriguez, Jack Perla, Iain Bell, and Dimitri Tymoczko. Nate has workshopped new operas by Missy Mazzoli, Gabriel Jenks, and Luke Styles at Chautauqua Opera and Columbia University’s Miller Theater. Nate curates NYFOS Next, New York Festival of Song’s contemporary music series, and he is on the roster of Brooklyn Art Song Society.
