In high demand as a Baroque specialist, Mr. Goodman has appeared often with the New York Collegium, singing rare works of Charpentier, Händel and Purcell under conductors Andrew Parrott, Christophe Rousset and Gustav Leonhardt. The Cantatas In Context series--all-Bach events by the Orchestra of Saint Luke's—brings him yearly to Saint Bartholomew's Church, NYC.

In 20th–Century Music, Mr. Goodman sings in worldwide performances of Steve Reich's multi-media opera The Cave, debuting last year at London's Barbican Theatre, and continuing to Lincoln Center, Paris and Le Havre. He has sung premieres of several living composers' works, and gave New York premieres of others, including the De Profundis and Stabat Mater of Arvo Pärt, which were also broadcast on National Public Radio. He recently reprised the role of Publicist, which he created, in Richard Wilson's opera Aethelred the Unready; a live recording was released with the American Symphony Chamber Orchestra. He has recently added the title role of Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex to his credits. He made his Carnegie Hall debut in 2002 with Barber's Antony and Cleopatra under Steven Sloane and the American Composers' Orchestra. He is a graduate of the Eastman School of Music, where he studied with Seth McCoy and Jan DeGaetani.
