In 1984, he was awarded first prize at the International Lute Competition in Toronto, as well as top prize in a competition of all the instrumental soloists at the Musica Antiqua Competition in Bruges, Belgium. Barto has performed solo recitals at the Festival of Flanders, London's Purcell Room, the Utrecht Festival, and the Music Before 1800 concert series in New York City. He has also given solo performances at the Lufthansa Baroque Festival in London, Bavarian Radio's Bach Night in Munich, and presented a special tribute to Silvius Leopold Weiss for the city of Dresden. His program includes a selection of fantasias and pavanes for vihuela from El Maestro 1536 by Luis Milán, as well as German baroque lute music by Sylvius Leopold Weiss.
