Within one year of his graduation, he was appointed Associate Director of Music and Organist of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City, where one of his first major tasks was to play organ for Vespers and Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral and Madison Square Garden for the first U.S. visit of Pope Francis. In September 2017, Michael received first prize in the First Shanghai Conservatory of Music International Organ Competition.
