Orth made his orchestral debut at the age of fifteen, playing Saint-Saëns’ Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Plano Symphony Orchestra. Since then, he has appeared as a soloist with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Israel Symphony Orchestra, Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, Orquesta Sinfónica de Oaxaca (Mexico), Dallas Chamber Symphony, Missouri Symphony Orchestra, Orquesta Sinfónica de Arequipa (Peru), Orquesta Sinfónica de Cusco, Springfield Symphony Orchestra, and the Richardson Symphony Orchestra, performing under the batons of Jaap van Zweden, Vahagn Papian, Miguel Harth-Bedoya, Hugh Wolff, Anshel Brusilow, Hector Guzman, and others. He recently joined Osmo Vänskä and the Minnesota Orchestra on their subscription series “Tchaikovsky Marathon” to present Tchaikovsky’s underplayed Piano Concerto No. 2. His “unbuttoned enthusiasm” left a “sparkling impression” on critics, and the Star Tribune further commended his playing for its “thrillingly visceral” impact.

As a chamber musician, Orth has studied and performed in prominent international festivals including the Perlman Music Program, the Ravinia Steans Music Institute, the Bowdoin International Music Festival, and the Pablo Casals Festival-Academie in France. He was a founding member of the Caspian Quartet, a competitively selected honors ensemble at the New England Conservatory. Recordings of Orth’s concerto and chamber performances have been broadcast on WGBH-WCRB classical 99.5 in Boston and New Hampshire, as well as WRR radio, classical 101.1 in Dallas. A deeply committed educator, Orth spent several seasons with Cliburn in the Classroom, a program that brings live presentations of classical music to thousands of children in public schools across the DFW metroplex. He was a founding member and artist-faculty for the first MFW International Festival Peru (2022), a three-week festival featuring concerts and masterclasses in Lima, Cusco, and Arequipa. He served for three years on the piano faculty at Wheaton College Conservatory of Music in Illinois, and now resides in Boston.
