Outside of SoCal, he made his operatic debut in Houston Grand Opera’s premiere ‘Another City’ as Manoj Mukherjee, where his “ethereal phrases [...] offered a lightness and sweetness” (Texas Classical Review, 2023). Rohan is a 2024 Fellow for Thirteen (D.C.) and was recently a finalist for Chanticleer (S.F.). Rohan joined Seraphic Fire twice this season, where he first “took the spotlight as soloist […] displaying charisma and joy” and later “displayed [...] high coloratura roulades” (South Florida Classical Review, 2024 & 2025).
Rohan is also an accomplished Hindustani vocal soloist throughout the US and internationally. He concertizes as a professional freelance oboist/English horn player as well, having previously held a position with South Asian Symphony. In addition to performing and touring, Rohan maintains a private voice/oboe studio and is quite the plant/flower geek!
