Known in particular for his interpretations of music from the heart of the pianist’s repertoire—Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, and Brahms in particular—Chodos has been heard in NPR broadcasts of these composers, who also form the bulk of his substantial recorded output.

Chodos has performed throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. In the U.S., his performance venues have included the 92nd Street Y, Alice Tully Hall, Merkin Hall, Symphony Hall, and the Library of Congress. He has been a soloist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Aspen Chamber Symphony, Radio Philharmonic Orchestra of Holland, and Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra.

A winner of the Concert Artists Guild Competition in New York, Chodos also received a Fulbright Scholarship, Martha Baird Rockefeller grants, and an NEA Solo Recitalists Grant.

He has given masterclasses and lecture-demonstrations at Yale University; Indiana University; the Rutgers Summerfest; the Chautauqua Festival; the Atlantic Festival; the Guildhall School of Music in London; the Hochschule für Musik in Leipzig; the Estonian Music Academy in Tallinn; the Edward Aldwell Center at the Jerusalem Academy of Music; the Tel-Hai International Piano Master Classes, also in Israel; the Toho Gakuen School of Music; Kunitachi College of Music in Tokyo; Seoul National University; and Central Conservatory in Beijing.
