His expertise and dedication to the craft of music have brought forth a series of outstanding choral works that are a testament to his passion for vocal excellence and the potency of human voices in harmony. Smith's recent project, "A Choral Christmas," encapsulates the warmth and joy of the holiday season through an exquisitely arranged choral repertoire, featuring classics such as "Away in a Manger" in an arrangement by Taylor Scott Davis. His work on Davis' "Magnificat: IV. Deposuit" further showcases his ability to interpret and deliver powerful, emotive performances that resonate with audiences.

Aria, Schlafe, mein Liebster, genieße der Ruh" reveal not only a profound respect for the baroque composer but also a deep understanding of the era's musical intricacy. Taking on contemporary compositions, Smith has placed his mark on works like "A Hundred Thousand Birds" and "Jansson: Requiem Novum," further diversifying his range and the choral literature available to modern listeners.
