Niv was one of the featured soloists\, alongside Yo-Yo Ma\, for the soundtrack of the PBS documentary Harbor from the Holocaust. \nDyad\, his innovative violin and bassoon duo with bassoonist Dr. Leah Kohn\, recently gave a Kennedy Center debut and has performed on concert series throughout the West and East Coast\, collaborated with dance companies\, and frequently commissions and performs new works alongside traditional repertoire.
