Aaron Petit is a performer of solo, chamber, and concerto repertoire locally and around the U.S. He has performed solo programs and concertos in several U.S. states and major cities including Los Angeles, California; San Francisco, California; Seattle, Washington; Portland, Oregon; Salt Lake City, Utah; Ann Arbor, Michigan; Interlochen, Michigan; Houston, Texas; New York City, New York; and Miami, Florida.
Ever since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, Aaron has taken a break from performing mostly due to the lack of indoor performance opportunities. Instead, he has focused on accompanying nearly 50 people in the Portland area for their various local events. He looks forward to being solo recitals and concertos again when the time is right.
