In the fall of 2006 Mr. Trecek-King conducted Polifonija, a professional Lithuanian choir, on their national concert tour of Lithuania, and he was one of two Americans competing for the Eric Ericson Award, an international choral conducting competition in Sweden. As a competitor, he had the opportunity to work with two distinguished Swedish Choirs, Allmänna Sången and Uppsala Akademiska Kammarkör.
