The 1999-2000 season had him serving additionally as principal of the Bergen Philharmonic when not needed in Israel.

Balio has been a frequent soloist since his earliest days as a student, having made his debut at the age of

Over the years, he has appeared as soloist with various orchestras in Europe, the U.S., South America and Asia under the batons of noted conductors Mehta, Venzago, Herbig, Temirkanov, Rozhdestvensky, Lintu, Stenz and McGeegan. His Carnegie Hall solo debut, an important milestone for musicians, came in 2013 in the company of the Moscow Chamber Orchestra and Maestro Constantine Orbelian. Naxos has recently issued his first solo recording, the Weinberg Trumpet Concerto with the St. Petersburg Symphony, inaugurating a string of other recording projects planned to document his repertoire.
