Some of his greatest achievements: seeing his choir sing with Barbara Streisand at Madison Square Gardens, and writing the opening song for one of Oprah Winfrey’s birthday celebrations. Bobby's Ensemble was featured on PBS with Norm Lewis at Lincoln Center in his cabaret, Who Am I. They were also a featured ensemble in "The Odyssey" at the Delacorte Theatre in Central Park, singing the music of Todd Almond as part of the Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park series.
