Entering his final year of studies with Claude Frank at the Curtis Institute of Music, Mr. Tyson has performed at a number of prestigious venues, including the National Chopin Foundation in Miami and the Baryshnikov Arts Center in New York. Mr. Tyson has performed as a concert soloist with the Guilford Symphony Orchestra, the Durham Symphony, the Raleigh Symphony, and the Chapel Hill Philharmonia.
