For his performance, Strad Magazine said, "Harrington performed with aching tenderness, a profound sense of melancholy touching every phrase". As a prizewinner of the Artists International Competition in New York in February 2003, Mr. Harrington made a successful debut, also to critical acclaim, at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall.
He has toured and performed as soloist in venues throughout the US and Europe such as Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, Alice Tully Hall, Town Hall, Merkin Hall, Ellis Island and the Tischman Auditorium in New York; Symphony Hall in Boston; the Armstrong Theatre, Los Angeles; Benaroya Hall, Seattle; The California Music Festival, Oakland; South Bank Center, London; Palacio Galaveis, Lisbon; The Hugh Lane Gallery, the West Cork Chamber Music Festival and The National Concert Hall, Dublin. For his debut in the National Concert Hall the Irish Times commented: "the soloist Gregory Harrington was impressive.

Future engagements include performances with the San Diego Symphony, Kansas City Symphony and Minnesota Orchestras and recitals marking the release of his debut CD "Reflections" in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand.
