His featured performance is a highlight of the New Music Miami Festival, which “presents new music for diverse instrumentations throughout Miami, bringing together innovative composers and thinkers along with adventurous performers and audiences.” Kerchoff’s passion for electronic works also led him to create the Electro-Acoustic Piano project which “which supports and promotes new works for piano and electronics. Started in 2009, the project has so far commissioned over twenty different composers, and the program has been presented throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Belgium, Germany, and England.”
