As a pianist, he has appeared with top symphony orchestras across North America, and as an enthusiastic recitalist, Parker has performed across the United States, Europe, Israel, and throughout Canada. In addition to his work at the keyboard, he is currently music director and principal conductor of the VAM Symphony Orchestra at the Vancouver Academy of Music.
