During the first years of his musical career, he focused mainly on 20th century music.Soon after, in 1994, he gained interest in early music, specializing on lute, theorbo, baroque guitar and thorough bass, becoming the first theorbo player in Argentina.
His continuous relationship with Eduardo Egüez, Dolores Costoyas, and Hopkinson Smith allowed him to support his own research in this field.

Concerts:
From that date, he has been playing theorbo, baroque guitar and lute with leading groups of Argentina, Uruguay and France as Ensemble Louis Berger  (Latin American Baroque), Ensemble Elyma (Latin American Baroque), Quadro Barroco (Baroque Wind Instruments), Ensamble Sine Nomine (XVII Century Music with singers), Viva fiamma (early italian baroque), De Profundis (choir from Uruguay), Affetti Musicali (Baroque Strings), Camerata Bariloche (Chamber Orchestra), Academia Bach de Buenos Aires (Orchestra and Choir), Sociedad Händel (Orchestra and Choir), among others.
In 2000 he founded La Rosa Púrpura del Plata  , a vocal ensemble with basso continuo, devoted to Latin American Baroque, This group focuses on villancicos and religious music in spanish language, coming mainly from Peru and Bolivia.  In 2003 he founded the ensemble “Capilla Antonio Sepp” , devoted to latin american jesuitic baroque music. Conducting this ensemble, he performed “San Ignacio” (an opera sung in spanish, coming from jesuitic missions of Bolivia) and is  planning a tour through the most important jesuitic sites in Argentina for 2004.
As a continuo player, he has performed in concerts and recorded C.D.'s in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia, Italy, France, Germany, and Switzerland. From 1994 to the present, he had the chance of playing both solo and ensemble music.
As a soloist he played mostly theorbo music but he also gave several lute and baroque guitar recitals. His various appearances in chamber music include soloist parts in works as A.Vivaldi's "Juditha Triumphans", G.F.Händel's "Ode for St.Cecilia's day", J.S.Bach's "St.John's Passion". His abilities as a continuo performer led him to take part in the most important baroque opera performances that Argentina has had.
Beginning from first performances of Latin American Baroque operas such as “Venid deidades” by Esteban Ponce de Leon, “San ignacio” (coming from jesuitic missions of Bolivia) or “San Francisco Xavier” (unique extant example of an opera sung in chiquitos’ indians language) by anonymous  indian composers.
