Bogdan appeared in concerts at Carnegie and Merkin Halls in New York City, as well as in smaller venues in France, the UK, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Jordan, and Kuwait.
A founding member of the Aldon Ensemble, he premiered works of emerging composers in the New York area with the same enjoyment as performing works by Libby Larsen, Prokofiev, Mozart, Sheila Silver, or Stravinsky.

His latest album "Tango della Pioggia" with a series of tangos, is scheduled for release in August 2023. In his free time, he enjoys skiing the Alps, the Rockies, yet nothing beats shredding some Vermont slopes with the crew.
