Since the early 90's, Chris has remained active in numerous capacities, playing solo piano in bars and restaurants across Long Island and the New York area, jamming with different ensembles of varying instrumentation, performing full-fledged concerts both solo and with his band, teaching thousands of piano lessons, and providing the musical background for cocktail hours, house parties, and corporate functions. He also continues to join his vocalist wife Stephanie Cuvier in playing for church ceremonies, such as weddings, funerals, and Sunday masses. As an instructor with more than ten years of professional experience, Chris has taught students of every age and level, and remains committed to equipping them all with a solid technical and theoretical foundation in their chosen style.

In recent years, Chris has also successfully ventured into the realm of musical theater, courtesy of Theatre Three in Port Jefferson. In the summer of 2005, he served as musical director for an original production entitled Sinatra Hereafter (now renamed Sinatra at the Pearly Gates), which musically chronicles the tumultuous life of legendary singer Frank Sinatra, and the results were critical acclaim and resounding audience ovations. Since then, in addition to regularly appearing in the pit band for mainstage productions, Chris has been proud to serve as accompanist for the Theatre Three touring production Class Dismissed: The Bullying Project, which has been performed hundreds of times at schools all across Long Island and the surrounding areas. In an entertaining and compelling fashion, this original musical addresses the pervasive and volatile issue of bullying in the 21st century, and has therefore received widespread bookings, praise for its talented cast and appreciation for the valuable contribution it has made toward discouraging youthful cruelty and violence.
