As a soloist, he has played with renowned orchestras worldwide and collaborated with prominent conductors. He also excels in chamber music, performing at festivals and collaborating with top musicians and ensembles. His recordings are praised by international media.

Besides performing, teaching is a passion. He teaches at the Université de Montréal and previously held positions at other universities. Kramer studied at the Juilliard School and Yale School of Music and is a Steinway Artist.
